Trying to connect Firewalla Purple, but keep jammed by hacker
Hello all,
I bought a Firewalla Purple due to previous hacks. Every time I try to set it up, my close proximity hacker jams me. I am trying to set up in router mode and I always error out.
I’ve have also tried other modes but the same issue happens. I read that you can create a network without being online but I don’t think that works for me because I’ve never had an initial setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Bob Rogers - Atlanta GA

Hi, I sent a load of information from email directly firewalla.com but nothing is here. WOW! Hacker at work.
Yes I do have examples and will try to post them. My hacker has a FirewallaG and has connected to me as one of his LANS. Last night after I posted, I tried a simple hookup. I connected my FP WAN to the router LAN and all of a sudden I was seeing the IP of my hacker and not my ISP.

Hi
Can you take your phone out from airplane mode? Airplane mode blocks everything, so there is no way you can pair with the FWP. This is likely the reason you are not pairing.
If you are having issues pairing, please see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4416174293267-Firewalla-Purple-Installation-Troubleshooting-Guide

Err, 169.254.x.x addresses means your DHCP server - the device form your ISP that's assigning your router an IP address - is unavailable. Seeing that IP address does not mean you have a hacker, as that address can't be used on the internet (it's a self-assigned IP that will only ever be local to your devices).

Thx Darren but….
How to Fix IP Address Starting With 169.254
By Kevin Arrows August 21, 2022 2 minutes read

If your system suddenly has an IP address starting with 169.254 then it is certain that you will have no connection to the internet and neither to any network resource you previously had. Having this IP address is almost as good as having no IP address. In other words, you can say your system is simply cut off from the network.I’m looking for help friend
