I just got a firewalla Gold SE and a ubiquiti 16-port managed switch (I wanted even more ports). I want to get my Google WiFi working until the Firewalla AP7 is restocked. I'm trying to follow this guide but for some reason I'm confused. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048869274-Google-Wifi-or-Nest-Wifi-Mesh-network-with-Gold-Series-Beta-Firewalla Let's say my setup is like this: ISP>Firewalla Port 4 Firewalla Port 1 Trunk > Ubiquiti Port 15 Google WiFi WAN vlan 200 > Ubiquiti Port 14 I'm confused why they're limiting the IPs of the access points to only themselves and having a different network/VLAN for the Google WiFi LAN itself. If I wanted to could I make the default Google WiFi LAN 192.168.86.0/24 as a vlan on my ubiquiti/firewalla and connect the ubiquiti to port 13? Right now I don't have the lan port connected and it looks like all the devices connected to wifi on the 192.168.86.x network don't show up under the firewalla just the main access point.

  You are best follow the instructions as much as you can. Since the google wifi itself does not support AP/bridge mode, this is a 'hack' just to make it appear as a bridge/AP.
