Where to install Firewalla?
Where is the right place to put Firewalla in your network? Should it be connected to your primary router? Or can it be connected to your secondary router or any switches within your network?

Manny, if you mean the secondary router is a 'bridge' or 'access point' that doesn't provide routing capabilities (it doesn't assign or route traffic), then best to plug into the main router. If you have switch connect to the main router, you can plugin there as well.
In case you have a little bit more complexity, firewalla is a IP layer device, if I assume the router you are talking about has its own IP address range, then you pretty much need one firewalla per router. This is mostly for advanced users. We have seen some customers using a secondary network isolate iOT (things) devices
