The FortiWiFi 60F is a FortiGate 60F with a wireless radio built in. The firewall specifications are identical, 700 Mbps of threat protection, 6.5 Gbps of IPsec VPN and 700,000 concurrent sessions, so everything that applies to the FortiGate 60F applies here unchanged.

Is this the right model?

Where it fits, and where it stops fitting

Compare the whole range

Ten gigabit ports make this the model for a small office that needs real wired capacity alongside wireless, enough to run the whole LAN from one box with no access switch. Buy it for the port count and the Fabric capacity, not the throughput: on inspection the newer 70G is ahead, and the 60F loses SSL VPN on FortiOS 7.6.0+ owing to its 2 GB of RAM.

Sizing this model

How to work out whether it fits

The arithmetic a datasheet leaves out. If any of it does not match your situation, that is worth a call rather than a guess.

Size the firewall as a FortiGate 60F, 700 Mbps threat protection, and note the same 2 GB RAM constraint that removes SSL VPN on FortiOS 7.6.0+. The reason to choose this over the 50G is the ten-port complement, so count wired devices first: if the site needs more than five or six wired drops, this saves buying an access switch as well. Wireless coverage is still one radio and one space.

Support and subscriptions

What to order alongside the FortiWiFi 60F

The published threat protection figure for this model is measured with IPS, application control and malware protection all running. Those arrive as a FortiGuard subscription, so the bundle you choose decides whether the hardware can reach the number you sized it on. Every bundle already includes FortiCare Premium 24x7 support.

These are Fortinet list prices. You will not pay them.

Every quote we write is discounted from list, and how far below depends on quantity, term and whether we register the deal with Fortinet. Longer terms also price better per year, which is why three and five year bundles are usually the better buy on a device you intend to keep through a refresh cycle. Part numbers follow Fortinet’s standard bundled convention; not every model carries every combination, so we confirm the exact orderable SKU before anything is placed.

Where it sits in the range

FortiWiFi 60F is number 3 of 6 in this family

Ranked on threat protection throughput, the figure that separates these models. All values are Fortinet’s own and cited on each product page.

One step down

FortiWiFi 40F

600 Mbps

17% less than the FortiWiFi 60F. Worth it only if your measured requirement genuinely fits inside it.

This model

FortiWiFi 60F

700 Mbps

6 models in this family span 500 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps.

One step up

FortiWiFi 80F

900 Mbps

29% more headroom. Worth costing if you expect growth inside the refresh cycle, replacing early is dearer than buying up once.

Highlights

  • Identical firewall specification to the FortiGate 60F
  • Integrated access point, no separate AP or controller
  • Manages up to 64 additional FortiAPs as the site grows
  • Region-locked SKU; we confirm the correct part number

Typical deployments

  • Small offices running wired and wireless from a single device
  • Sites needing several separate physical segments
  • Estates already standardised on the 60F platform

The numbers, with their conditions

Every figure below is Fortinet's own, with the test conditions it was measured under.

Performance

Fortinet's published figures. Firewall throughput is measured on UDP with no inspection enabled, size your deployment on threat protection throughput instead, which is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection all running against an enterprise traffic mix.

Performance
Firewall throughput (1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP)10 / 10 / 6 Gbps
IPsec VPN throughput (512 byte)IPsec VPN performance test uses AES256-SHA256.6.5 Gbps
IPS throughput (enterprise mix)IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection are measured with logging enabled.1.4 Gbps
NGFW throughput (enterprise mix)NGFW performance is measured with firewall, IPS and application control enabled, enterprise mix traffic.1 Gbps
Threat protection throughput (enterprise mix)Threat protection performance is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection enabled, enterprise mix traffic.700 Mbps
SSL inspection throughput (IPS, avg. HTTPS)SSL inspection performance values use an average of HTTPS sessions of different cipher suites.630 Mbps
Application control throughput (HTTP 64K)1.8 Gbps
Firewall latency3.3 µs

Wireless

Fortinet does not publish the wireless radio generation per model in the Product Matrix, and the radio and permitted transmit power vary by regional SKU. We confirm the exact wireless specification and the correct regional part number against your country before ordering, a wrong-region FortiWiFi is not a returnable configuration error.
