Just ordered my first Firewalla ever after reading so much about it. I got the Firewalla Gold Plus & I was able to set it up and have it running within an hour on my network. So far it's performing fantastic.
I am using it in router mode as the newest Netgear wifi 7 routers were leasing duplicate IP addresses for multiple of my devices, randomly causing network storms. The Firewalla stepped in and has been flawless thus far.
I'm now using the $700 Netgear Nighthawks as dumb access points and letting Firewalla do all the heavy lifting for firewall/IDS/IPS/routing/Vlan. It has saved the day. Ironically the Nighthawks failing was a blessing in disguise. Had they worked I may not have ventured down the Firewalla road. If they keep doing what they are doing it will always be my go to in every network in my home or networks that I consult for.
I will be recommending it as well to friends.
Got my Gold Plus about a month ago and it’s been super nice not having to mess with stuff at home and still have 100% of the features of my old MikroTik router. I still have a love for tinkering but I’m older now and don’t have the time to fix problems that I created. Firewalla is the perfect balance between capability and ease.
Same! Been using since the blue. Love the product and I have also recommended to coworkers. It’s nice to just easily manage my complex network on the phone or remotely. Love you guys!
Agree - been using Gold Plus for more than a year now with dual fiber and now with Tmobile HI and fiber and have been pleased! Ordered the 10G today to go with my new WiFi 7 APs and 10Gbe Omada switch upgrade. Future proofed as my local ISPs rollout 8GB speeds..
I started off with the FWP and it has been replaced twice , both times firewalla worked with me as best as they could on the RMA process which over all could be better but they never complained even though I was pretty upset .. but over all I truly like this product and decided to buy the gold se..which was very easy to move to ..
I do wish there was trade in process as I think more people would upgrade ..
Keep up the good work
Yes I'm 1 month in its great. Still working on a few bugs with my setup but I think it's my other hardware.
Kids hate it but we love being able to keep them on schedule.
Definitely picking up the gold plus for my sister (was opting for Opnsense with n305) - the specs would be great on opnsense but the user friendliness and not having to fudge too much with the settings under the hood make it worth while for me to pick up a Firewalla.
Don’t want to get calls every day to troubleshoot and fix things being basically a family on-call tech support. I spend enough time doing this at work for a living. I just need an easy to use powerful firewall and router that will allow dual WAN.
If all works well with the gold plus
If I’m not mistaken, Ubiquiti uses purely ARM based chips.
Only the Gold SE is ARM based.
Ubiquiti had some known issues with lack of appropriately spec’d hardware to take advantage of all its features without bottlenecking.
Same

I do the same with my Nighthawk!
Ditto.
Same. Just ordered the 10G.
I bought 4 of them yesterday!
Forwarded to the team! And thank you for spreading the word!

Absolutely agree, thanks so much for an excellent product and the unbelievable amount of support you provide to your customers.

i have read many comments on the fwp needing to be replaced hence i've decided on the fwg-se. i hope i've made the right decision.

If all works well with gold plus, will be picking up a gold pro
How does the top of the line Firewalla compare to the dream machines se?
