Hi ZackM,
It is how bridge mode works. The router when set to bridge mode connects to the main router via wireless. The purpose for bridge mode is for wired devices connects wireless via the router. For more info you may check the KB below.

Just went to install a R9000 for a customer. Put it in bridge mode, no AP mode, not Route mode. Once in Bridge morde it wont broadcast any wireless even though there is a wireless setup link/page on the Bridge mode config page. Any ideas?
Bridge mode is used to connect wired clients to a Wi-Fi network. The setup page is used to select the Wi-Fi network that the R9000 will join. It will not broadcast its own Wi-Fi network.
