Wifi on the R9000?
How did you setup and configure the R9000 for AP mode? Use a dynamic or static IP address configuration on the R9000? Static is recommended.
Be sure to connect the R9000 to the host router using the yellow WAN port of the router to connect to the host routers LAN port.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.

Look at the host routers connected clients page to see if the R9000 got a IP address, it should be listed here, you can connect to the R9000's web page using the new IP address it got from the host router, if the R9000 is connected right.
Couple of items to review to see if they can help:
