Router Compatibility Firewalla works in either Simple Mode (Plug and Play) or DHCP mode (need to login to the router and disable DHCP server.). Your router should be able to work with at least one of these modes. The Firewalla app does autodetection for you during the initial pairing with the Firewalla box. If you are running into problems, please check the list below to see if there is any known issues. The autodetection process is not perfect, but you can always manually force a mode to use. If your router is not on the list, it is very likely to be compatible with Firewalla. This list will be updated as we learn from our customers and detection algorithms. For Meshed routers: You will need additional instructions. DHCP Mode: If your router has the option to turn off the builtin DHCP server then DHCP mode will work for you. And for some routers DHCP cannot be turned off, you will need additional instructions. Any questions? Just email us at help@firewalla.com, it will create a support case, and our engineers will help you directly. If you encounter problems such as 'slow throughput', please also make sure your router's firmware is up to date. To connect Firewalla, your router (or a switch connected to the router) must have a free ethernet port. If you run into devices keeps on changing IP address and you don't have a network extender, double check your router's DHCP lease time. Make sure it is long.

These are not compatible with Firewalla. The reason is, Firewalla uses the device MAC address as the key to the device, if it keeps on changing, it will make monitoring impossible. (Such as NETGEAR EX3700) Wifi Access Points: (Simple Mode) If you have network devices, such as extenders, or routers acting as access points, you may need to put them into "not monitor" mode. Comcast Routers: Certain Comcast routers that run in DHCP mode (such as XB6) may have issues with blocking ipv6 traffic. This is because these routers cannot turn off ipv6 autoconfig. We are working on a solution. IPv6: In Simple mode: IPv6 support needs manually turning on. Please tap on "+" then add the IPv6 feature. In DHCP mode: DHCPv6 and autoconfig should be turned off. Network Size: (For advanced + business users) Most home network by default is /24 network mask (253 networked devices). Please limit Firewalla Red's network to /24 and Firewalla Blue to /19 Guest Networks: Guest networks are generally not supported by Firewalla. These networks are mostly 'inside' the router and not visible on the LAN side. VPN Compatibility To access the Firewalla VPN server, your ISP will need to give you an externally routable IPv4 address. (Most ISP does this already, we have seen cases in Germany, China, where the IP address provided is a private IP) Without this, your VPN client will not able to talk to Firewalla. VPN will not work in a pure IPv6 network, it only supports IPv4 at the moment. We are working on getting it working over IPv6. We encounter problems in some German ISP's, where IPv4 in IPv6 tunnel is used. Compatibility with Other Devices The idea behind the defense in depth approach is to defend a system against any particular attack using several independent methods. We engineered our box to play with other boxes just for this purpose. Circle: If you have Circle on the network, make sure Circle is not monitoring Firewalla and Firewalla is not monitoring Circle. And both are not monitoring the same devices. Otherwise, your network will be shut down with packets flying all over the place. Cujo: We have one user claim he ran Firewalla in Simple Mode under Cujo. (verified by another user) Fing: Fully compatible. Do not use Fing to block a device that's monitored by Firewalla in Simple Mode. PFSense: Pending confirmation, we have one user got Firewalla Simple mode working with it. PiHole: This is the open source DNS server. Much like what Firewalla does. If you have this as your DNS server, please disable monitoring of the PiHole Unit inside Firewalla App. (tap on devices>find pi hole>tap on it>move to the bottom and monitoring off) SonicWall: Should work in the Simple mode Bitdefender: We do know a few users run Firewalla with Bitdefender in router mode. Ubiquity: Firewalla works with many Ubiquity devices in simple mode.
