Firewalla Gold SE as a Bridge Load sharing/failover
Hi
I currently am using a Firewalla Gold Plus as a router. Unfortunately all of the ports are used up and I have decided to keep my ATT 1 gb services as a load share/fail-over. I will have two ISP services coming in one 2 GB the other 1 Gb. I would like to use the Firewalla Gold SE in bridge mode and load balancer/fail-over device with with one of the Gold SE 2.5 gb ports feeding my existing Gold plus 2.5 Gb WAN port. I am not sure of how to configure this set up.
Currently my Gold Plus is set with;
Port 1 WIFI (AP7)
Port 2 Ethernet (LAN)
Port 3 Ethernet (LAN)
Port 4 AT&T (WAN)
The new setup I would like to do is;
FIREWALLA Gold SE
Port 1 (2.5 Gb) Greystone Connect 2 Gb ISP
Port 2 (1Gb) 1 AT&T Gb ISP
Port 3 (1Gb) (empty)
Port 4 (2.5 Gb) Uplink to the existing Gold Plus 2.5 Gb Port 4)
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Allow me to clarify.
I currently have a firewalla gold plus. Set up in router mode. I only have one available port for the ISP. I will have two ISPs soon. I want to use the Firewalla gold SE as a load share fail-over device that will then feed my existing Firelwalla gold plus wan port. I guess the firewalla gold SE must be set to router mode in order to do this? How do I avoid double NAT issues and how do I set this up?
Thanks!

Hi Dsr304, as suggested above, it may be simpler get a switch for your LAN connections, so you can clear up a Gold Plus port to use for your second WAN.
If you only plan to segment Wi-Fi devices via AP7, an unmanaged switch can work just fine. You can still segment your network using VqLAN or VLAN, without needing additional switch configurations.
If you need to segment wired devices into different VLANs, you might need a managed switch. For more information, check out these articles:
