FXA5000 Bridging with Telus Wifi AP (Booster 2.0)

[news]

This is just a heads up for anyone with the question pre-install since I couldn't find the info:
The FXA5000 can be bridged and also use the telus wifi booster 2.0 that gets installed. My setup is bridging the FXA5000 on the 10G port, turn off DHCP, assign a LAN IP in the same subnet as your own router for both the FXA5000 and the wireless AP they supply. Connect a LAN port from the FXA5000 to your router or switch on your subnet. My AP is the B20T and connects over Moca, but there is no reason ethernet wouldn't work fine. This is all you need to do to use your own router and still use the Wifi AP. I doubt this would work via their app or thorugh your customer portal, but through the web interfaces of the devices, but I don't know because I didn't try it.
I haven't tried setting up a guest network (I have my unifi AP for that) and VLANS don't seem to be an option.
I hope this helps anyone looking to setup their fibre install to their own equipment
