We do it because it makes customer maintenance a lot easier. They can replace/remove their router without having to call the office or changing settings in their computer or router, everything comes with DHCP enabled default. There are very few places where the customer will ever know. If there is a problem, we will set the radio in bridge mode and give them a static IP, but the only place we ever do that is if they have a higher end router and need to be able to run VPNs.

If they want to manage their own port forwarding and such, we just DMZ the radio (be sure you uncheck the DMZ management ports) and forward all the traffic to a static 192.168.100.x which is what they statically set their router to.

We use to be all bridged with CB3s back in the day, and I have no desire what so ever to go back.

He have heard other wisp are using the Ubiquiti radio as a router.
Would like feed back why one would do this when it appears customers would be double natted when they hook up their routers?
Or does it not matter from the customer experience?

Thanks
