Thanks for the information on the Centric router. I tend to use the router in the equipment I purchase since it's usually better than what the internet provider supplies. But you are correct, If Centric will not put the router in bypass mode, putting your mesh equipment in Access Point mode will also work. I'm just curious once you login to the router, don't you have access to all the controls? Isn't there a way to turn On Bypass mode or is it password protected? I know once you do this, Centric will not be able to see or control the router from their end for troubleshooting so my guess they don't want it in that mode. I know with Quantum when you talk to them about using your own equipment they say just plug it into their router. And it does work but again you are double routing.

No, you don't have access to everything; they gimped it. And the documentation also states if you do a restore to default, or a hard reset, that it will just revert to 'controls that a subscriber is allowed to modify.'
