NightHawk AX5 WPS button
I am trying to add a wireless printer to my network. My router does not have a WPS button. Is there a way to use the APP to add this printer?
Side note, I do not have an install DVD. The printer in question is a Brother HL-2270DW.

Which Netgear router is this? AX5 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number.

Instead of WPS, you could try the connection utility that comes with the router.

Most brands have a way to download your connection software that doesn't need a CD.
It is a NighHawk AX5 AX4200 5-stream RAX43v2 router
Most HP printers with wifi can be added by using on the board path to add the printer to any wifi SSID name and password. Refer to HP and there setup process and support information on how to add there printers to a wifi router using the SSID name and Password.
