Which router is this?
AC1750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
What is this cable modem? Make and model?
What do you mean by "direct access"?
Your router may be in bridge mode, BRIDE MODE - Yout router may be in bridge mode. Bridge mode is not supported - fresh out of the box NEVER USED!?
"Turn bridge mode off and try using the app again"
HOW CAN I TURN OFF A FEATURE when I have NO ACCESS to the Admin ui?
You seem to be flailing about.
Maybe this is simple enough for you:
How do I log in to my NETGEAR wireless router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Or read the manual for your device:
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device.
