Setting up a second Firewalla
So I have purchased a second Firewalla for use at a remote location.
What would be the best way for me to setup this second device before sending it to the remote location so that all they will need to do is plug it in?
If I try to connect it to my current network my mobile device is unable to add it to my account. The first Firewalla is setup in DHCP mode. I also tried swapping out the first Firewalla for the second one so that there would only be one on the network but then the devices are not getting IP's.
I just thought I would ask on here before I go and take my current Firewalla out and get the network up and running on its own DHCP like I had it before I got the first Firewalla.

If you take out the firewalla in Firewalla DHCP mode, you will need to turn on DHCP server on your router. Then you can set up the second unit.
Now, please be aware of one important thing, for the same unit to work remotely, your remote network needs to be exactly the same as your home network. Meaning, it has the same IP subnet range.
Is your remote network for sure not compatible with simple mode?
