Firewall Purple SE with Verizon GS3100

Hello - I'm not super technical so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a Verizon modem connected to a Verizon GS3100 router. The GS3100 router is also connected to 2 other extenders to provide wifi around the house.

I'm following Firwalla's instructions and it sounds like the ideal setup is in Bridge mode.

When I try to do the Bridge enablement in the Vierzon router, using the instructions below, I don't see the option to turn on IP Passthrough (assuming this is for the Bridge). Screenshot below.

Any advice on how to solve this? Looking to get the Firwalla installed to help with kids content filtering and access at home.

Thank you.

Does your network work with out turning on bridge mode on your Verizon router? do you have any access points connected on the LAN side of your purple?

I don't think the bridge mode is turned on (or at least I don't see it). I see DHCP as automatic. I have not connected the Purple as yet as I was trying to figure out how to turn on Bridge mode. The screenshot I attached earlier is from the GS3100 where they say bridge mode should be an option. How do you recommend i proceed? thanks much.

Yes, the network works currently. I have the model connected to the GS3100. I have 2 separate wifi extenders.

I am curious on how you are connecting the extenders? through firewalla?
