I have a Ubee dvw326b router/modem combo that I had issues with the wifi disabling itself, so I decided to put it into bridge mode and hook up another router(Linksys ac1200) to it. I went into the Ubee settings and went into operation mode an enable bridge mode which turn off dchp, nat, firewall, and routing and then begin to setup the Linksys. The setup with the new router went fine until when I completed the setup of the Linksys, one minute it says it is connected to the internet and then I get message on the linksys smart WiFi router settings page that it is not connected to internet and it does this repeatly but my computer can still access the internet since it is plug into the modem(ubee dvw326b) still, but I can't hook up any other device through wifi because it keeps dropping connection to the internet?

Since your computer is hooked to the UBEE and you have put it in bridge mode, your PC is getting the one and only public IP address. You need to disconnect your PC and router from the modem. Power off both, then power up the UBEE and let it initialize, then connect the linksys to it. Connect your PC to the linksys. Do not connect any other devices to the UBEE. It is no longer a router, so only one device can connect.
