The FortiWiFi 50G is a FortiGate 50G with a wireless radio built in. The firewall specifications are identical — 1.1 Gbps of threat protection, 4.5 Gbps of IPsec VPN and 720,000 concurrent sessions — so everything that applies to the FortiGate 50G applies here unchanged.
The most sensible default for a new wireless branch. It carries the widest variant range in the family — WiFi, DSL, SFP, PoE and 5G — so a multi-site estate with mixed uplink types can standardise on one model, one spares pool and one template. Its 1.3 Gbps of SSL inspection is more than four times the 40F's, which is the number that matters once inspection is switched on.
Highlights
- Identical firewall specification to the FortiGate 50G
- Integrated access point — no separate AP or controller
- Manages up to 16 additional FortiAPs as the site grows
- Region-locked SKU — we confirm the correct part number
Typical deployments
- Multi-site branch estates with mixed uplink types
- New wireless deployments standardising on a single model
- Sites needing PoE for a camera or phone without a separate switch
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.
| Firewall throughput (1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP) | 5 / 5 / 4 Gbps |
|---|---|
| IPsec VPN throughput (512 byte)IPsec VPN performance test uses AES256-SHA256. | 4.5 Gbps |
| IPS throughput (enterprise mix)IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection are measured with logging enabled. | 2.25 Gbps |
| NGFW throughput (enterprise mix)NGFW performance is measured with firewall, IPS and application control enabled, enterprise mix traffic. | 1.25 Gbps |
| Threat protection throughput (enterprise mix)Threat protection performance is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection enabled, enterprise mix traffic. | 1.1 Gbps |
| SSL inspection throughput (IPS, avg. HTTPS)SSL inspection performance values use an average of HTTPS sessions of different cipher suites. | 1.3 Gbps |
| Application control throughput (HTTP 64K) | 2.8 Gbps |
| Firewall latency | 2.42 µs |
Capacity
| Concurrent sessions | 720,000 |
|---|---|
| New sessions / second | 85,000 |
| Firewall policies | 2,000 |
| Max gateway-to-gateway IPsec tunnels | 200 |
| Max client-to-gateway IPsec tunnels | 250 |
| SSL VPN throughput | — |
| Concurrent SSL VPN users (recommended max, tunnel mode) | — |
| Virtual domains (default / max) | 5 / 5 |
Security Fabric capacity
How much of the rest of the Fabric this model manages directly, with no separate controller.
| Max managed FortiAPs (total / tunnel) | 16 / 8 |
|---|---|
| Max managed FortiSwitches | 8 |
| Max FortiTokens | 500 |
Hardware
| Interfaces | 5x GE RJ45 |
|---|---|
| Local storage | 64 GB (51G) |
| Power supplies | Single AC PS |
| Form factor | Desktop |
| Variants | WiFi, DSL, SFP, PoE, 5G |
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.
| Integrated access point | Yes — this is the wireless variant of the FortiGate 50G |
|---|---|
| Radio generation | Varies by model and regional SKU — confirmed at quote |
| Regulatory domain | Region-locked SKU — must match country of deployment |
