UniFi USG with CM1000
I have a CM1000 and the WAN is connected to a SRX3205 VPN gateway. I have no issues and when I connected these, everything worked immediately. The only problem is the WAN to LAN performance on the ...

CM1000 is a BRIDGE modem. It has passes on DHCP transactions from ISP directly to device on the LAN side. no config is needed.
192.168.100.1 is the DAIGNOSTIC IP for checking GUI and logs.
you should set the USGUniFI to DHCP and it should automatically get DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 from ISP directly.

I know nothing about LPTT, but I'd say that the CM1000 does not have
a _router_ mode. It's a cable-TV modem, not a cable-TV modem+router.
I'd say that a _bridge_ mode is about all that it _does_ have.

I wouldn't say that. Its web server responds at that address, but
that's a DOCSIS thing which is generally independent of your
communication with your ISP.

Why? Whence came that address? Did you mean "192.168.100.2"? I
would not expect that to improve anything. My suggestion would be to
forget all about the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet (except when you want to
talk to the CM1000 itself).
I'd expect the gizmo which is connected to the CM1000 to talk to your
ISP, and (most likely) get its WAN configuration from that ISP. If you
connect a computer directly to the CM1000, how does it get configured?
My guess would be that it gets your public IP address. I'd expect that
that's what should happen to anything which you connect to the CM1000
(or any other cable-TV modem).

With that configuration, I'm not amazed.

Another region of my ignorance.
At least one of us may need to read and understand the documentation
on your UniFi Security Gateway.- JamesWinoSep 13, 2018Aspirant
Thanks for your inputs here! This was not as complex as I through it was. The Unifi tech support told me that I had to setup the static IPs and that was clearly not the case.
