Can you access the routers web page with a wired or wireless connected PC or laptop and web browser?
Can you access the router by using the Nighthawk app?
Be sure you are connected to the routers wifi signal.
Try a different browser on the iphone, Firefox or Opera.
I can access my Orbi system and RAXE500 in bridge mode web pages on my iphone 12 max iOS 15 loaded currently.

Hey FURRYe38!
I have not tried accessing the router web page with a computer of any kind yet. I currently only own an iPad and iPhone. The router nighthawk app does work on my phone and iPad but I’m needing to access more advanced features then what the nighthawk app can provide. Like firewall and port forwarding.
And yes, I am connected to the Wi-Fi’s signal.
The browsers I’ve tried so far are chrome, Firefox and safari with no luck.

What iOS version are you using on the Apple devices?

Try to disable Wi-Fi Assist to be 100% sure that you aren't using your mobile connection instead of Wi-Fi see here how to do that: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205296
