Dear Firewalla can the blue Firewalla monitor devices on the guest wifi? How? The devices do not show up on the list. Thx

  Firewalla red/blue can't see through guest wifi.  Guest wifi on the consumer routers is really just hardcoded networks that no one can access.

  Dear Firewalla team, is the answer above still valid in case of Purple SE connected in simple mode?

  Devices connected on the guest wifi are not in the firewalla list of devices…

  Which are the options I have to monitor such devices without going in router mode? Have a great day!

  Guest wifi (majority implementation) are hidden inside your AP, so there is no way for any firewalla to see them. 

  If you run simple/dhcp/router mode and monitor AP, guest traffic should all come from (sourced) the AP IP address.

  Thanks for your immediate reply, I appreciate. So the devices are indistinguishable but the traffic is visible by Firewalla and results originated by 192.168.1.1?
