eero 6+ Setup using a switch

January 23, 2024 16:36

I am interested in the Firewalla purple. Here is the setup view I am inquiring about:

I would like to know if having a unmanaged switch after the main eeros, still be managed by firewalla? I need to implement a switch in my environment for closer peripherals like my smart TV, game console, and a few other things.

Your topology will work.

A switch after the main eero will be connected to the firewalla directly, so you should be able to see all devices on it.

Got my purple today trying to set it up as per my diagram. Wiring is correct, but should I be following this: https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009259414-Setup-Guide-Routers-that-are-not-able-to-turn-off-DHCP-Service or only if I can’t put my eero in bridge mode?

You need to run the purple in router mode.

Your eero in bridge mode.

You do not need to turn off DHCP services. (that article only apply if you are using Firewalla DHCP mode)
