routerlogin.net not working after disabling DHCP
Walked into a new account that was having internet troubles. Fixed the issue with their ISP. Found that there was a Netgear Nighthawk AX8, Model RAX75 "downstream" from the ISP modem. I also noticed ...

I wouldn't do that. That was a possible explanation for what you
reported, not a suggested course of action.

Still my advice.
Note that if the RAX75 gets its IP address using DHCP, then it'd make
some sense to reserve an address (preferably memorable) for it in the
DHCP server on the main router. When it's configured as a WAP, those
"routerlogin" names might work from a system which is connected directly
to the RAX75, but not from other places on the LAN. Its (new) LAN IP
address should work from anyplace on the LAN.
