Ubiquiti U6+ access point

How do I use a ubiquiti access point alongside the built-in ap of orange? I can connect and use the U6+ ap, but any device that connects to it gets a new ip address (end up with a new device in list for each device that has connected to each ap).

I have one local network set up that has two wifi ssid's (under wifi settings)  on the firewalla ap, and an additional one for the U6+.

I'm not sure if it's just not possible to have the U6+ be part of the orange's ap/wifi or if I'm just getting something configured wrong. 

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  Is your U6+ AP broadcasting on a different VLAN or subnet than the one on Orange?

  Also, it's good to check if your devices are using MAC randomization. In general, Firewalla identifies devices based on MAC. I'd check if the "new device" has a different MAC address than the original device. It's good to turn off MAC Randomization on your trusted SSIDs.

  Thank you for the information - I overlooked the MAC randomization, and that's what was causing most of the issue. The handoff between the U6+ and the Firewalla isn't perfect, but it's much better since they're not adding a new IP every time!
