Is anyone aware if Firewalla Gold supports inter-VLAN routing?  If so, what's the process?  I'd like to use it for WOL to function consistently without having to put my controller on the same VLAN as my devices on I'm wanting to WOL.

  You can definitely route between LANs. WOL, no AFAIK.

  DJ you can WOL between VLANs reliably? I’d love to know how.

  DJ, I have only had select luck in making WOL across VLAN's work.  If I do a WOL from a controller station on a separate VLAN from the general workstations I can get WOL to work for a period of time... if I wait several hours or over the weekend, for example, then WOL will not work across VLAN's.  My guess is it has to do with the Firewalla tables across VLAN's.

  I can make it work fine if all are on the same VLAN though, but that's not what I'm aiming for.  Would love to hear how you got it to work consistently.

  It can't work out of the box. see https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-send-a-WOL-magic-packet-from-a-different-subnet/answer/Phillip-Remaker for why.

  These unifi users describe something that they claim works, but I haven't tried it. https://community.ui.com/questions/Solved-WOL-between-different-subnets/0551c2b3-0bc2-422e-b829-d168ff77a989
