How to setup Telus modem in bridge mode to add another powerful router?
Thinking to get the AX6000 router. How can I use the Telus modem in bridge mode?

It usually isn't necessary to bridge the Telus router. You just need to make sure the AX6000 isn't using the 192.168.1.x address range. I believe the AX6000 defaults to 192.168.0.x so that shouldn't have any issues.
If you have Optik TV, you'll probably want to ensure the Optik boxes are connected to the Telus gateway. Optik does not work through many third party routers.
