The "bridge mode" term is confusing and depends on the context. For a modem/router, for example, it means turning off the router bit and using the thing as a bridge between a router and the Internet.
There is also a "wireless bridge mode" for routers, connecting two routers over wifi so that the second router can "host" devices.
The RAXE500 does not support "wireless brdge mode".
You could follow the advice from schumaku. Wire the RAXE500 to your router in AP mode and away you go. If direct wiring isn't possible Powerline Ethernet might work.

The RAXE500 has wireless bridge mode. I know mine does.
