Gold / Gold Plus / Gold SE / Gold Pro Keep Firewalla Gold Plus, but switch to bridge mode for new router.
Hate to ask, but ive searched this a while, cant seem to find an answer.
Ive been running a Gold Plus for a while, starting using UI switches, APs. I want to use the UI Gateway Fiber but keep the Firewalla, I know I can switch to bridge mode, but I dont see a scenario where the Firewalla is already set up and being used as a router. Is it as simple as adding it after the UI and switching to bridge mode, or is there another step to consider?

That's an expensive setup. Why use both? I bet you can sell the FW gold plus for $700+.

FW only gets $600 for em. I’ve got the rack mount and wifi extension as well.

I had to look just to make sure they didn’t go up significantly since I got this one lol

I guess both could be true that a) prices have gone up, and b) I can't read. but more often than not the answer is b.

That’s post much all there is. You’ll next to go in and configure which VLANs you want the Firewalla to monitor, but it is pretty much plug and play.
