r310 installation question

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?

yeah I tend to find Unifi wifi stuff not that reliable depending on what firmware you are using. A lot of their feature tend to be not working or half working.  Firmware updates you always have to be careful which one you update. Their firmware tend to be betas and alphas sometimes even though they release it as stable.
