Thank you all for replying however I have tried all of these things.
People are giving me basic information, I have called netgear and they say it is not possiable to connect wirlesslesy however then why does bedige mode ask for wifi info to the main router?
I would like someone who has actually done this with Setting up Netgear NightHawk AX12 AX6000 RAX120 wirlessly to their modem.

That is rather strange since it is a functionthat Netgear has not changed in many years beyond the most basic for supporting new standards such as 802.11ax. Beyond that the UI has not changed in the past 10 years or so but in my experience it has worked reliably.
I typically use the wireless bridge on nearly all of their routers when testing performance since no one seems to make anything higher than a 2 stream adapter, but many WiFi routers will have a 4 stream radio.

Wanted to also add that if the correct bridge mode is enabled, the web UI will change, and DNS address as well as the default IP will no longer work. The router will have an IP provided the main router, and the UI will look very different. The basic page will have most options disabled, (including all AP related settings), and the advanced tap will just have client info such as the IP, link rate and various other common settings.
In your case, it will look close to this when the settings are applied on both the popup window and the advanced page.
