Google On-Hub SRT-AC1900
Good Day Everyone,
First I want to say its very difficult for me to believe how easy it was to configure Firewalla.
I have configured Sonic-wall and Cisco stuff in my past and it was rough bumpy ride however with Firewalla I was in a constant shock as it was truly plug and play. I have been talking to all my friends and colleagues to purchase this. I also want to share I currently have two Asus On-Hub routers SRT-AC1900 and I currently have Verizon fios, to my surprise in simple mode Firewalla works out of the box without any complex configuration or even DHCP mode enabled.
For anyone who is looking to try this, I have the following configuration.
Router 1 Asus SRT-AC1900 Asus On-Hub as the primary router where the FIOS Cat 6 is plugged in the Internet port and all of the DHCP is completed on this router.
The Second SRT-AC1900 Asus On-Hub is connected via Mesh(wireless) as an access point and I have added Firewalla to the LAN port of this router and all of my LAN traffic is captured via the ARP mode as I am using the simple mode. In this configuration I am able to monitor all network activity with all devices connected to my network, stop and allow new devices and also able to use all the functionality provided by Firewalla.
Thank you again Firewalla team for making a great product.

Support,
I have two Google On-Hub Routers, the first one has the Verizon Fios cable connected from the ONT box to this router. All the NAT is happening from this unit, and if i look in the device mode of this router in the google wifi app the options for device mode are grayed out and it says the device mode has been automatically set.
I have a Lan out cable connected to a pass through switch for devices which may require wired connections and since the primary router is in NAT(standard) mode its providing dhcp support to devices connected wired or wireless mode.
The second on-hub router is connected to this primary on-hub router in bridge mode to extend the WIFI coverage and from the LAN port of this second router i have plugged in the Firewalla unit and that is working fine for me as i can pickup devices in the simple mode of Firewalla. I don't see disconnections or network interruptions with this configuration.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Zane, do you still have the Onhubs? Simple mode still works? My confusion is if you go into the compatibility list, https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009401874-Router-Compatibility, they say the Onhub is incompatible, I don't want to go through the trouble of this, https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008005173-About-Mesh-Routers, so I'm hoping if I get a Firewall Blue Plus in simple mode, it's more than enough. For Firewalla, what does "incompatible" mean in this case?
