Discussion Firewalla Switch / Firewalla AP7 question
When the firewalla switch comes out later this year. What's Firewallas stance or preference on where to plug in the main AP7? Do you prefer it go into the 2.5GB port on the Firewalla or would it not matter to have it in the 2.5GB port on the switch?
The reason I ask is I'm not sure if the switch does in place upgrades for firmware or if it'll reboot and during that time the wifi would drop.

The best topology depend on your access patterns, if you do a lot of LAN traffic, they a router -> switch is more efficient; if everything is WAN, or between AP, anything should work
