R6220 Bridge mode
How do I set my Netgear AC1200 router model R6220 to bridge mode? I need to do this in order to get rid of my double NAT for gaming console reasons.
Unfortunately, the pix mean nothing to me.
Did the link I sent earlier mean anything?

You can narrow down the options by looking fir the things on the modem. Does it have a row of Ethernet ports on the back? Does it do wifi?
On the gem, is there a user community out there somewhere? Its equivalent of this place.

Unfortunately, there are several definitions of "bridge mode" depending on the context and the devices you are using. In the case of the R6220, it doesn't support some of the options. In any case, it isn't likely to get what you want.
Start with that rather than your idea on how to get there. What symptoms do you see that lead to your problems?

What is causing this double NAT? Is it something to do with the unnamed gaming device? Is it a second router on your network? Maybe a modem/router?
What is the modem/gateway/ONT (make and model) between your R6220 and the Internet?
With modem/routers, the preferred approach is to put the modem/router into its bridge mode, which means disabling the router but and making it work in modem only mode.
Another scenario is to put the R6220 into wireless access point (AP) mode, disabling its router bit.
