Legacy and just another legacy...
Hi,
just received the information around the Simple Mode after I received my BLUE legacy notification. I am not sure if this is the right way forward. I am an early adapter and was purchasing my BLUE and GOLD via the campaign. I could soon trough away my BLUE and then later my GOLD as I have no chance to use router or bridge mode without loosing my wireless features. My router is managing wireless as well and it seems that all modes are now in legacy. I simply do not get the story guys..

Simple Mode is currently labeled with the Legacy tag in the app due to its compatibility issues with Android 14. We may reduce support for this mode in a year or two (depending on if any more compatibility issues arise). If you can, we highly recommend using Bridge or Router Mode.

The compatibility issue with Android 14 (which likely going to be in phones, pads and TV/Media players) is really the issue here. Please see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/20994764766227-Why-is-my-Android-device-disconnecting-in-Simple-Mode-Legacy
We are still monitoring this, and if this problem doesn't get resolved, simple mode will likely to be much less effective. So if you have a blue, best to move it to DHCP mode. But, if the problem doesn't impact you, then you can still use simple mode.
