netgear router problem

I connected my netgear nighthawk AX4 router to the home 5G. All the lights on my netgear router are on. However there is no available network to connect. When I open the tmobile app I see my router as a connected device. The netgear app cannot see my router so I am unable to use that. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

    Is the Netgear router in AP Mode?  The TMHI Gateway has routing functions and does not have a bridge mode setting.
