Here is a router that I am having trouble with now that the settings have been fix I forgot to post this problem as well
Router : Nighthawk X6S R8000P
Problem: In simple mode it seem to not work correctly the WiFi will not work meaning they cannot connect to the internet (they still connect to the router)
To fix this I need to disable monitoring I have not tried DHCP Mode after I try it I will post back not sure if this is the correct post to say this or should I start a new one
UPDATE - Same Day
DHCP Mode seems to work no trouble so far on all three signals(bands?)

We encountering two cases where Fritzbox 6490 not able to do VPN. And that issue is related to how the service provider is tunneling ipv6. We will likely enable ipv6 native on the Firewalla, the work is logged, the exact date of delivery is TBD.
Quote from a customer "I think this is because my isp (Unitymedia. cable provider in Germany ) uses ipv6 and a NAT IPv4 DS-lite-Tunnel (ipv4 over DS-lite)"

Anyone from French that has used Orange router before? Do you know if Orange is compatible with Firewalla or not?

@sebastian, if you mean decrypt https traffic, no ... we can't and will never do. If you mean block sites such as https://youtube.com or an ip address or ... a category of sites (like video/gaming) we do that well.

This is a strange one, it uses Qualcomm chipset which is usually not compatible with Firewalla's simple mode, but ... we see some of our customers are using it with Simple mode. If you are handy reconfiguring routers, give it a shot.
As of DD-WRT, it should work, the issue with compatibility is really the drivers that comes from Qualcomm.
DHCP mode at the moment is pretty fixed. But ... if you require these features we can create a issue and have them inserted into our back log.
Port forward should work, I am using it at my place with the Synology router. (which uses the same / or like Qualcomm chip set)

@Firewalla and @Annie Lu, I'm a french user and I confirm that Firewalla red is compatible with "Orange Livebox 4". I have a fiber optic subscription.
Detailed characteristics are here: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Orange_Livebox_4

FYI - Dovado pro - had to set firewalla to DHCP mode.
