I have the Gold SE and an ATT BGW320-500 and a Switch. I have my FG SE successfully hooked up (BGW>FG SE>Switch). Evertyhing that is Lan wired to my switch is working perfect. I have my BGW set in Passthough mode and Wifi disabled. In my previous configuration I have two Lan cables from two Ubiquiti access points plugged into my my switch then to my ATT Modem and the wifi worked. Now that I have my new setup i don't see my wifi network. I realize I turned it off in my ATT modem but how do I set that up without going through my ATT modem? Sorry I am horrible at all this stuff and in over my head :)

    If you don't see the SSID of your wifi network, the problem is likely the access point or wifi is not configured correctly. You will need to look at it there.

    Hi Brent, 

    I think you want to use this configuration (which is sounds like you have) BGW210/BGW320 -  IP Passthrough

    ATT {Passthrough} > FWGSE {router mode} > switch > APs etc.

    Are you running a unifi controller somewhere? If you want to manage the APs and get a lot of other benefits, you need that. The controller can run on a. compute or even on FWGSE. 

    Also, are the APs configured to work with your FWG network(s)? Do you have any VLANs configured?

    Thanks. Yes that is the current setup that I have. I rebooted everything and now I can see the network from my APs, I can connect but it's acting strange, VERY slow to connect, sometimes disconnects. When it connects the speed is fine but takes forever to actually connect. How do I configure them to work with my FWG network? I didnt do anything, just left them plugged into my switch which is now plugged into my FWG.

    Maybe I do need a controller, all I have is 2 APs in the ceiling that were installed when my house was built

    You might want to reset the APs and set them up properly. A controller is a good idea. If you want to run the controller on FWGSE< you can use the tutorial here Guide: How to run UniFi Controller on the Firewalla Gold ...firewalla.comhttps://help.firewalla.com › en-us › articles › 3600534... or use a script I wrote based on the firewalla tutorial to make it easier. github.com/mbierman/unifi-installer-for-Firewalla

    They were broadcasting but it wouldn connect on any device. I finally tried plugging them directly into the FG SE instead of my switch and now they work fine. Not sure why but all is good now. Thanks
