When in bridge mode, the R7000 works just as a wireless client so all data just passes thru the R7000 in this mode. There should not be any kind of data manipulation in this mode. So you won't see any additional features and user configurations like you would in Router mode. There is no need since the data is just flowing thru the antennas and to the LAN ports.
Make sure you are connected to the LAN ports and not the WAN port. I don't believe the WAN port is usable in Wireless Bridge mode.
