This could be very different things, on some routers, this can be about routers (typically xDSL or cable router) not do routing/NAT, so another router behind can get the public IP address to it's WAN/Internet port, on different context this could be configuring two devices into wireless bridge mode.
Impossible to guess what the reason was for such a config, and what exactly was configured.
Well possible this device should have got a LAN IP address. This isn't reachable using the DNS tricks like routerlogin . com or just call the default LAN IP. If cabled correct, and the environment is working, a DHCP server will still assign a LAN IP o that subnet.

"Tip: If the router is in access point mode or bridge mode and you do not know the IP address that is assigned to it, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect the IP address. (IP scanner applications are available online free of charge.) If you can detect the IP address, you don’t need to reset the router to factory default settings."
Re: RAX35 — Nighthawk AX4 4-Stream WiFi 6 Router is stuck in bridge mode
What do you mean I don’t have to reset it to factory settings if I find the ip? I found the ip when I used an ip config command or on my Mac when I login into the network. When I use any web browser to try and open the admin panel, it still doesn’t work. Do you have any suggestions for an ip scanner on macOS. Angry IP Scanner does not work because it’s developer certificate expired.

With this WAX35 in question connecting to the network in whatever way - to another device with a link to your LAN and the default gateway of the unknown other router, yes.

IP config shows the address(es) of the adpter(s) on your MAC, as well as the default gateway, the operational router LAN IP typically.

“With this WAX35 in question connecting to the network in whatever way - to another device with a link to your LAN and the default gateway of the unknown other router, yes.” 1. Yes, but this still isn’t getting me to the admin panel. I need to access the admin panel to turn off bridge mode. Is there another way?
2. Sorry I should have made it clearer, I used windows ipconfig command and on MAC in network preferences you can easily find ip of network your connected to.
Re: RAX35 — Nighthawk AX4 4-Stream WiFi 6 Router is stuck in bridge mode
Yes. I hold it down and none of the lights change to indicate a factory reset. I have held the button down for every increment of time you can think of.

Still no idea on how the WAX35 was operated and configured before to provide a workable environment.

This gives the PC resp Mac adapter IP, the default gateway IP (which isn't the WAX35 unless I'm missing something), the subnet mask.
