Firewalla and Fios TV+
I am hoping someone can help a limited tech savvy person with a solution.
I just upgraded to the new Fios One TV+ (android set top box). The reason for the upgrade is the ability to get the tv signal wireless (no coax to the set top boxes). The set top boxes get the signal from a central VMS (video media server) box (VMS4100ATV).
My current setup is fairly straightforward:
FioS router (G1100 model) --> firewalla gold --> deco mesh (AP mode).
The VMS has a coax cable connected. It also seems to automatically connect to the fios wifi network. However due to limited range of the Fios network, I want to connect the set top boxes to the deco mesh wifi.
Anyone have suggestions on how to leverage the firewalla gold features to allow the set top boxes on the deco mesh network to connect & see the VMS on the Fios wifi network?

Firewalla Gold won't block the WiFi network. If you are using Firewalla New Device Quarantine, it's better to temporarily turn it off. That will stop new devices from getting the Internet.
I'm not familiar with VMS. Generally, you may need to get rid of the coax connection. You can connect VMS to Deco using an adapter or Wi-Fi.
