Excellent wireless access point for commercial use

This type of gear is not intended for home use, although the hardworking handymen among us will likely find a way to set it up successfully and understand this is an important one Feature as a wireless hotspot. For business/commercial use you won't find anything better. It is very important to register this device with Fortinet immediately upon receipt. Make sure you do this immediately after purchasing and receiving the device so you can download the latest firmware and determine if it is a 'Lemon' type. While this rarely happens with Fortinet hardware, even the best hardware can have a factory defect, and while this rarely happens with these particular devices, it's always unlikely. Please note that after the standard 90 day warranty has expired this unit may be covered by a 1 year warranty or more (primarily for SA and continued lemon assistance). These WAP devices are well designed and very functional. Fortinet also offers an amazing cloud-based management system that makes it easy to set up a device to use with your firewall. It can also be used with the built-in FortiGate firewall wireless controllers for local management. What don't you like?
