[Networking] Bridge

I know there are other topics on how to bridge a third party router off the fios router but are there any disadvantages to bridging? I understand not being able to get the IMG but are there any issues with wireless connectivity, lag, etc? From what I have researched the lag isn't even noticeable and it doesn't affect ping but what do you all see with yours?
Thanks in advance!!

The trade-offs of using a third party router are well covered here:

If you use any of the documented configurations, you will not lose IMG or VOD.

No.

If you use a configuration where the third party router is primary, there is no additional lag.
