I currently have a firewalla gold and a set (3) of netgear mesh nighthawks. I love the product and features but Im currently unable to figure out how to get visibility of individual devices.

The only thing that is shown in the firewalla is the name of the netgear. every traffic spike or anomaly or event is just attributed to the night hawk regardless of the laptop or device that actually does it.

I've tried setting (subnets)? per a forum suggestions and have tried changing and testing different "modes" on the firewalla and netgear all with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction or combination of settings on either devices.

  I had the same issue with a pair of Asus CT8 mesh units. I finally swapped them out for my pair of 2nd gen eero pro units and now Firewalla can see all devices. Nothing I tried on the Asus units allowed the devices connected to the remote mesh unit to be seen by the Firewalla Blue +. Devices connected to the primary ASUS unit were seen by the Firewalla.
