Would it be feasible to plug the Firewalla Gold into our Omada Network replacing the TL-R605 router? We have used other routers in Omada Networks without any issues, but wondering if anyone has actually done this or has insight to issues that could occur.

  Should not be an issue; if your network neet a transition, you can also run the firewalla gold in bridge mode

  I attempted this same scenario. Omada network with 50 + devices, 8 APs, about half wired devices and half Wifi. Everything TP-link including the R 605 router.

  After learning the Firewall Gold on the bench, I reset it back to factory settings.

  Shutdown the ISP router and R605, removed the R605 and replaced it with the Firewalla Gold (router mode). Turned on the ISP router and after 10 minutes or so, powered up the Gold. Within a few minutes all the aps and devices were connected and working fine, just no Internet. So, I put the R605 back on line and removed the Gold for some troubleshooting assistance.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  As I stated the network is fully functional, just no internet access.

  Everything is running perfectly now. I had to re-flash the Gold to (apparently) clean up something I messed up during my "bench learning sessions". I am my own worst enemy at times.
