For an AP, you don't need to setup bridge mode with a router. If the Telus router/Hub has a ethernet port you can connect another router/AP to it, or a wireless extender to said hub.

True but I also want to get a UniFi setup as well and use their hardware as the primary devices rather than the Telus all in one.

Which Unifi device? A switch, an AP? All of which I'm pretty sure doesn't require bridging. What is the exact signal/equipment path you want to use?

Switches along with an AP or two, depending on which ones I go with and the effective range/pricing/etc.
Main routing device would be a Dream Machine or Dream Machine Pro, haven't quite decided on that one as it depends on which one is in stock and I can actually get my hands on.
I'm looking to use my own hardware for the actual network side of things, not the Telus device. I only want the signal passed through from the Telus device, nothing more. I want my Ubuiqiti device doing the routing and all the networking config.
