I have Wireless Router in AP mode, connected to FWG in bridge mode. FWG is connected to my ONR. The ONR is my gateway and DHCP server. My devices connected to the wifi router get their IP from the ONR. While connecting and waiting for an IP, often it times out. If I disable all rules on the Bridge device (FWG) I get connected instantly. Any help is welcome. Only rules I have is banning TikTok, Roblox and Porn.

  If you directly cable a device to Firewalla box, will it get an IP or just WiFi clients have issue getting an IP?

  Good question. Yes wired devices also have an issue, not getting an IP. Only if I pause or turn on emergency access, everything works.

  Check your rules and see if you are blocking incoming internet connections, and also check if ingress firewall is off (ingress firewall should be off for bridge mode)
