Is this as a wireless repeater?
If so you should be able to get at it by aiming a browser at its IP address. The router is just one of several places where the IP address for the R7450 will be listed.

I have tried going to routerlogin.net and also just typing in my ip address on all 5 different computers.
You can't use routerlogin.net for something in bridge or AP mode and I have no idea what you mean by "my ip address". It is the IP address of the R7450 that you need.

so how do i find the ip for the actual router then?

That depends on the router. You haven't told us what that is.
By default many brands use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 for a modem router.
If you are connected with a PC to the router, then it should show the IP address in the network settings and properties.
But if you want to get the IP address of the R7450, then some other network tool should help. If you can connect to its wifi, then the connection's properties should show the IP address.
If you just want to get it out of bridge mode, read this:
