Misc router in bridge mode before my netgear router + netgear extender router
Will a Misc router (from my ISP) in bridge mode have any negative negative effect on my network?
That's a very open ended question.
Overall the network should work fine provided the bridge mode works as it should.

- KensingAspirantIf the router in bridge mode does not support wifi 6, but my netgear router and extender does, will they be limited in their wifi 6 capabilities by that bridged router which is first in line?

what router do you have?
what router do you plan on using for a bridge?
what extender do you have?
why are you setting up a bridge in the first place? it basically disables the wireless on the router as it uses it just for router-----router communication.
