It looks like the ISP router does not provide any DHCP services.
I'd say, guessing a bit, that you need to find out from the ISP router what the assigned WAN IP is when in bridge mode, so that you can manually configure this in the ASUS router.
And, guessing again, the ASUS router connection type should probably be Ethernet.

Are you trying to use an Asus router as an access point? If so, set your Asus router to whatever the local IP of your ISP router is +1, so if your ISP router is 192.168.1.1 set Asus to 192.168.1.2. In your ISP router, keep DHCP enabled and set the IP Pool to start at 192.168.1.3. Change your Asus router to be in "Access Point (AP) Mode" via the "Administration" tab and make sure your WiFi credentials are the same on each router (SSID, PW, WPA Encryption), but use opposite wireless channels on each router. Connect the Asus router from ISP router to a LAN port on the asus router (not WAN) and you should be set. From there you can plug directly into the Asus router and have boosted wifi.

FYI most routers that I have seen provided by ISP's are junk. If you can, scrap it and buy another Asus router instead.

Oh man, I don't know who I feel more sorry for, the OP or the ISP.

Edit: Definitely feel more sorry for the OP. Internet providers should be smart enough to give him full setup instructions if they are putting his modem into bridge mode.

After you turn on the bridge mode you should dial with another device, router or even PC. Depending on ISP you should select PPPoE, Cable or whatever else

Bridge mode is supposed to deal with whatever protocol they use for internet delivery and just give you ordinary ethernet IP networking. My ISP uses DHCP which makes it pretty much plug and play once the modem is in bridge mode. But other ISPs use static IP addressing and then you need to know which one you've been assigned so you can enter that info into your own router's WAN configuration.

From my own experience, tech support of pretty much all companies are totally clueless.

Right now I'm having problems with a cellular ISP who was supposed to provide me with 12 permanent IPs but what they have actually done is linked my accounts to temporary pool and marked it as permanent, or something like that, dunno really, and they don't know either.
