What should I do to help him to get his firewalla purple into router mode? is there anything i can do? with his internet provider is verizon Verizon Internet Gateway ARC-XCI55AX is what he has and i am trying to figure out how to get it up and running into router mode so that way he can have peace of mind. Thank you.

If you want to set up Purple in router mode, you need a separate AP to provide wifi network. Because Verizon Gateway's Wifi can't be monitored by Purple under router mode, if Verizon Gateway is the upstream of Purple
We'd suggest turning Verizon Gateway into bridge/IP passthrough mode, so it acts as modem only. You can connect as:Verizon Gateway -> Purple -> WiFi AP/switch/other devices -
Let me see if I get this right, if I want to set up router mode for him and enable ip pass through mode so the gateway can act like a modem itself, which means it won’t work as WiFi, but act a modem so I have to setup an any access point such as Linksys? Will that work?
With purple do I have to connect purple>>linksys>>yellow internet box>> then change Linksys into bridge mode and set Firewalla into router mode?

Check Switching from Simple/DHCP Mode to Router Mode (Gold/Purple) to see if it's helpful.
Yes, let the gateway be modem only, and use any access point for WiFi behind Purple. The connection is Modem(Verizon gateway in passthrough) -> WAN port [Purple router mode] LAN port -> Linksys (AP mode)
