It would be nice if your team can write up a page about how to have Plus to co-exist with the current Gold in other LAN/VLAN. This may help other folks to justify for a new Plus.
BTW, will you guys plan to support SSDP or other LAN device discovery protocols using by Sonos Speakers, Amazon Echo Dot, or other IoT hubs? I think this is a must feature if you want to position Firewalla to prosumer market given these are some of the most popular smart home devices. Currently, we have hard time to isolate all IoT devices including SONOS if our phones or Tablets are on different vlan from phones’ vlan.

@rogcisco this is fairly simple to set up.
You want a site-to-site VPN. Each network needs to have a unique subnet. We use WireGuard (as opposed to OpenVPN). We set all internet traffic to go out the local connection and not over the VPN.
Read this and this document.
This doesn't work with IPv6.
There should be no issue with SSDP or other LAN device discovery protocols. Are you running into issues? Can you please be specific?

@chris it's a home network panel. It has a 24port POE Switch (Operating Temp up to 104F), Internet modem (Operating Temp up to 122F), Smarthome hub (Operating Temp up to 104F). I live in AZ. Home temp inside is 80 during the summer when it averages 105F degrees outside. Even keeping the inside temp at 80F our electric bill is around $700/mo. So I would imagine the temp in that panel would be over 95F during the summer. And no I have not seen any drop in performance when I measured it. No issues with the Gold over the last 2 years. That's why I am asking about the 95F limit for the Gold plus.

I'll note that it would be great if the Gold Plus USB 3.0 port supported Ethernet Adapters for an additional WAN/LAN using an adapter like the TP-LINK TL-UE300 USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter (Gold and Purple too). I just created a Feature Request for this:

In response to this post
"...how cool would it be to run the web interface or the MSP portal off the HDMI port. Is there CPU and memory available to run Chromium?"
There's never enough CPU or memory to run Chromium! lulz

Can you please confirm that you will continue to develop and support new features on the Firewalla Gold after the Firewalla Gold Plus is released?
When I originally bought the Firewalla Blue, the Firewalla Blue Plus was released immediately right after and many new features were developed that worked on Firewalla Blue Plus but not on Firewalla Blue. I wasn't too happy about that. I'm hoping this won't happen again with Firewalla Gold vs. Firewalla Gold Plus.

@Alak
The Gold Original, Gold Version B, and Gold Plus all use the same exact image. So whatever changes for any of the platforms will be available for the other. For example, So it does not matter what unit you purchase, the software will be the same. They have the same amount of memory, and disk resources.
The blue and blue+ are different, since blue+ has 2G memory, which allows it to do more things.
