I have a Calix 844G-1  fiber WIFI router from my ISP provider.  I have the firewalla gold setup in DHCP mode but I want to use it as a router.  After talking to my ISP today, the ISP router can not be setup in "bridge mode", it does have DMZ hosting and It has UPnP which I have running and the VPN is working good. 

1. Is their any way to use the ISP WIFI router and have have the firewalla gold setup other than having it as a double NAT? 

2. Can I use DMZ to put the firewalla gold on the public side and then use it that way? 

3. Second to last option: Or is the best thing to do is to see if my ISP will just give me a router that I can set up in bridge mode?

4. Last option: If I cant get a new router then just use the firewalla gold in DHCP mode and forget everything else?

 

Thanks in advance!

  Can I assume simple mode doesn't work with that router?  If not and you want to reserve wifi, then DHCP mode is your only choice.

  Otherwise, you make firewalla into the main router as you said in (3)

  I've also a question regarding replacing my ISP router with the Firewalla Gold. But I don't know if the Firewalla is supporting Internet and Routed IPTV in my case.

  Config what I need for Internet is:

  PPPoE via VLAN 6 (802.1q).
  PPPoE authentication PAP with username and password
  Maximum (mtu) 1500 bytes (rfc4638)
  IPv4 address + DNS servers via PPPoE
  IPv6 address + DNS servers (IPv6) via DHCPv6-PD request (in PPPoE). Use an address from router.

  Config what I need for IP TV is:

  Ethernet VLAN 4 (802.1q)
  Address via DHCP needs option60 (Vencor Class Identifier) with value : IPTV_RG.
  Specific routing information via DHCP request (option 55 bevat 1, 3, 28 and 121)
  Extra; Do not use of DNS servers and do not use default gateway only specific routes.
  Turn on IGMP-proxy incl fast-leave option needed for TV signal in home netwerk (min IGMPv2).

  Peter, what do you mean "you didn't find it"?  You can't see the configuration on your app?

  How can I configure the following settings?

  Address via DHCP needs option60 (Vencor Class Identifier) with value : IPTV_RG.
  Specific routing information via DHCP request (option 55 bevat 1, 3, 28 and 121)
  Extra; Do not use of DNS servers and do not use default gateway only specific routes.
  Turn on IGMP-proxy incl fast-leave option needed for TV signal in home netwerk (min IGMPv2).

  Internet works via the Triple Play option.
