That would be the RAX45, which you tagged in your first message.
You can use the RAX45 as an access point.

That does lose some of the functions on the RAX:

But your main router should handle those things.
If you have Ethernet throughout the place, try the RAX in various places to see which gives you the best coverage. Somewhere between the main router and most remote bit of the property is probably best. But if the area really is big, your two sources may not be powerful enough to flood the place with WiFi.

Thanks for the information and links
I reconfigured my device as an access point. When I connect to the Bell App I can see that the NightHawk is connected with an IP of 192.168.2.43
Is there anyway for me to determine if the Access point is working. In other words is there a way I can tell if any wireless devices are using the access point or connecting via a different further way Access point.
When I look at the network using the Bell app, I only see the Gigahub and one pod. I am assuming the app only has the ability to show bell connected devices.
Thanks Again

What is the IP of the router?
What is the "Bell App"? I have no idea how that works.
The Netgear router would usually go for 192.168.1.1. That's a different network from 192.168.2.X
