New to Omada...some DNS/DHCP issues (v4.4.4)

Hello all you joyous Omada software controller users!
[begin joy] I was running a standalone ER605 v1 Gig VPN router and a standalone EAP AC1350 access point and all seemed to be good. I was able to administer both through a web interface or the Omada app on my iPhone and all was living in Happy Town. In preparation to add a second AC1350 and have more granular control and to mesh via Omada to enjoy seamless transitions between AP's, I installed the Omada software controller v4.4.4 on a Windows 10 box. [end joy]
1) First, adopting the ER605 caused its static IP I had configured for it of 192.168.0.3 to be reconfigured for 192.168.0.1 automatically. UGH...DOWN goes the network because the gateway changed. Didn't read the docs first so maybe that's covered and is MY BAD. C'est la vie!
2) I had an intricate DHCP reservation table set up in the ER605 prior to adopting it. GONE. Can't find it. Can't find where to set that up. Anyone know how I can get to it? The web interface doesn't want to work any longer because it is now "under new management" [wink] and I am willing to bet that the DHCP reservations I had got wiped out with the adoption of the ER505 by the Omada software controller, eh? Where ARE DHCP reservations???
3) I had a DHCP scope set up with custom DNS servers specified. Can't seem to find anywhere I can specify the DNS servers for the DHCP scope. When I do an ipconfig /all on a Windows client I can see that the DHCP clients are using the default gateway IP for DNS name servers and they seem to be resolving DNS okay but I do not know what external name servers they are using. I did go ahead and configure the WAN interface DNS servers on the ER605...maybe the DHCP clients are getting their name server resolution from those IP's?
4) I had a NO-IP Dynamic DNS entries in my ER605 virtual server lists. I can see the page that says "No Dynamic DNS entries have been created yet." on the Insight page under "Dynamic DNS" but I don't see anywhere to add it. WHERE in the heck do you re-create the entry at?
Thanks for any insight that can be shed!

@Chuckster59 As far as I know, once the er605 is adopted by the controller, all settings will disappear. You need to reconfigure your router on the controller.
@Chuckster59 If my understanding is correct, the SDN mechanism is special, the device needs to get the IP from the router before it can set a static IP, and this static IP can only be set within the dhcp ip range of the router.
