I have a cunning way to do this as I also wanted to add a second DNS and with me using a vdsl modem I cannot manually add a home DNS sever I use for my non internet facing lab servers.

I also did not want to put the device in to "Bridge Mode" as I feel I spent enough $$ on this device to disable functionality.

Ok step 1 go "configure Router > DHCP Server" and only allow one host in this example 192.168.1.2 - 3

Step 2 Go in to static leases and set a spoof mac address on the network i used 0f:0f:0f:0f:0f:0f
and allocate it to the one available IP you set above in my case 192.168.1.2

Step 3 Use you Amplify without bridge mode and Set a DHCP Server up on any other device.

I have a seperate Windows Server running DHCP with the additional DNS settings I need.

This works for me and keeps all the functionality, But please Amplifi Devs this is expensive can you please add these essential settings what I would like to see is:-

Dynamic DNS
PPPOE Custom DNS Settings
Better Parental Controls
VPN Server

I only bought the device today I am struggling justifying the cost due to the lack of these features it would be good for a dev to tell us what the product roadmap is and likely timescales.

As I am considering returning the product If these aint likely on the horizon.

Most UK ISP's will use pppoe and a lot need the flexibility of these settings out of the box without these dirty workarounds.

Also as a matter of interest does anybody know the CPU and the memory size speed? could this limit additional functionality?
