I have 4 ubiquiti AP's attached to Ubiquiti gateway. Been having really poor coverage and I was told to switch to Ruckus. I have a ton of dead spots due to the way the house is constructed. Anyway, I bought 4 R310's and a E510 for outside. I was going to use one of the 310 as unleashed, that way I don't have to buy a controller, however I have Crestron and other home automation stuff that is hardcoded to a 10.0.1.xx range. I can't simply attach the 310 to the internet modem and make it the unleashed master because there is no port available on the 310 to hang my crestron stuff (through a switch).
I ended up buying an el cheapo mikrotik router but I have had a hellish time configuring this to work with the Ruckus AP's. I am not sure what would be a good alternative. I am happy to spend more on a better router but I am not sure it's the router that the issue. A couple of questions.
Should the mikrotik router be in bridge mode or act like a pure router. All my AP's are hard wired through cat-5 in every room, it's not mesh. Any pointers on how to get this done?

Thanks a lot. The UB gateway works like a charm with the 310. I also have a E510. Can that be adopted by the master r310 or only the 310 can work with the master (unleashed)?

If the E510 has unleashed firmware the Master R310 can adopt it and keep it the same firmware version. Glad the USG works fine with the ruckus.

Thanks again. Worked like a charm. I have 4 r310's and 1 e510 connected and working in harmony.
