    Hi Willie,

     

    No troubles. Firewalla will just use any upstream DNS configured in your router. I see this is a complement between Firewalla and OpenDNS

    Simple mode does work on a Netgear R6400 v2 with DD-WRT flashed.

    Works with my MediaLink Router very well. I can block or allow ip addresses with the beta version of the software. I would not have prefered to have the software without the allow feature, thats because I wanted this to protect my own web server. I use Firewalla plus Iptables on my Raspberry Pi computers. I only like my cell phone and my other computers to access the wbe severs on my Pi computers. But if I want to share my audio files I just have to enter the allowed ip address on the firewalla.

    Good morning, I would like to purchase the Firewalla Bule Plus, but I don't see my FRITZ!Box 7530 router among the compatible routers. Could you confirm that it is still configurable in DHCP mode or other way? Do I lose any functionality? if so, which ones?
    thanks

    Has anyone setup the Firewalla Blue Plus with a Linksys EA8300? I don't see it mentioned on the compatibility list as a Yea or Nay.

    I have just received my T-Moble, 5G gateway. I wanted to know if Firewalla Red would work with it. You cannot disable DCHP. In fact, you cannot do much of anything except use it as is. This is why I want to get a Firewalla product. It is the:


    NOK 5G21 Gateway

    HW ver: 3TG00739B

    Thank you.

    I think the DHCP cells for eero v1 and v2 also need to point to the "LIMIT-DHCP" information. At least I had to when I was using Blue with eero v2.

    The list says Huawei hg659 doesn't work in simple mode, but I just tested by turning off ARP attack protection and looks to be working. Am able to block internet on 1 device and its showing the traffic as well.

    Anyone have experience using a Firewalla Blue Plus on the AT&T Fiber BGW320-505?

    @rolando This compatibility page only apply to simple/DHCP modes. If you have the Gold and it is in the router mode, all you need to worry about is to make sure the Deco can be in AP/Bridge mode. That's pretty much yet. (only very very few WiFi you get can't do AP/bridge mode)

    Great thank you. That’s a relief. I’ll reply back once I get everything setup. I don’t expect delivery until another week or so.

    I'm happy to report that my FW Gold does work with my new TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 Mesh System in Router Mode on the FW Gold with AP Mode on the TP-Link.

    My new Xfinity XB8 in bridge mode works with FWG.  Can't wait for the new FWG+ so I can leverage my 2GB speed.

    Just had Metronet fiber installed, and I have a Google Nest Wifi Pro as my home mesh connected directly to the Metronet ONT.

    I would like a VPN as well as advanced firewall and family controls. What's the best product to place between the ONT and my Google WiFi mesh parent router?

    Hi Brian,

    Gold or Purple series will match your needs.

    Since Google wifi mesh can't be turned on bridge mode. You can follow these setup guide:

    Thanks @Firewalla! I do have the option to put an eero Pro 6E router back into the system between the ONT and my Google Mesh, and it does operate in Bridge Mode. Note my Google WiFi Pro is also 6E.

    Would this offer better functionality?

    Thanks again!

    Hello, i just recently upgraded from a Netgear Orbi mesh to a TP-Link XE75 Pro and the Firewalla Blue i have had for a few years doesn't seem to work correctly with it.  when i plug it into the network in simple mode, i start losing satellites and devices that were already connected.

     

    Is my new router supported?  cant seem to find this information

    Thanks
