RAX 35 not working
I got this router around August 2021 and it was working completely fine until it stopped working, i was using it as a wifi extender since we dont use modems in my country. I've tried the reset button...
... i cant change the mode or connect to routerlogin.net to it
What happens when you try to connect to routerlogin?
What did you mean in your first message when you said?
i cant even get the IP address
That could be the key to your problems.

Unfortunately, the official guidance is not as clear as it could be.
How do I change my NETGEAR router to AP mode? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
i connected it to an existing wifi router
Where did this existing router come from? How does that fit into the network?
Without full details of what you are doing it is hard to work out what is happening.
Add your RAX35 to another router and the default IP address of your existing wifi router, and things like www.routerlogin.net, can clash with the default IP address of the RAX35.
nothing happens because it doesn't connect to the internet, just says no internet
i think you can see the ip address of the router on network settings but since there's no signal you cant see it even with ethernet
i need to log in to routerlogin.net to change to AP mode
the existing router came from my service provider(SLTMobitel)
and I've already tried with a different router

You don't need an Internet connection to use routerlogin.net. (Or 192,168.1.1) That's the whole point. It is a local connection between you and the router.
I repeat, what happens when you try it in a browser?

When you write "no signal you cant see it even with ethernet" is there supposed to be a separate sentence there?
"You can't see it even with ethernet."
As to the "no signal" bit, even a router with no Internet connection should show up on wifi clients as a wifi SSID. That's how you are supposed to set it up with a Netgear app.
One way to manage the router would be to disconnect it from your network, and then to use a browser to connect to the SSID using wifi.
Where is this "network settings"? Windows?
Where in Windows? There isn't a single "network settings" that I can find.
If you can see an IP address for the router somewhere in Windows, then feed that into a browser.
the existing router came from my service provider(SLTMobitel)That tells us nothing about the existing router. Does it have a make and model number?
