The only downside for them is in bypass mode they can't see the router any more when troubleshooting and it won't take any more updates when Centric pushes them out. I'm kind of surprised they lock out some of the router settings but we are very lucky to have a fiber internet option. As I mentioned, with Quantum there are no restrictions once you log into the router but there was a time where there was a firmware bug when you put their router in Bypass mode so I had to leave it and was double NATing and never had a problem or saw any real difference.

I agree, it shouldn't be an issue, but ideally we should be able to setup our Wi-Fi the way we want, right? Kudos to Quantum for that. I'll keep you posted on what Centric say about configuring to bridge mode (they've already hinting they won't do it, that some admin settings are locked).
I'm a beginner at this but would like to setup a VLAN for my IOT and guest devices and the UDR 7 makes that a breeze.
HERE'S A GREAT VIDEO from Dave's Garage a year about in which he - an self-proclaimed Unifi "fanboy" - configures this router.
I wonder how much of this, if any, I couldn't do without having the Centric gateway bridged...
