The FortiWiFi 70G is a FortiGate 70G with a wireless radio built in. The firewall specifications are identical — 1.3 Gbps of threat protection, 7.1 Gbps of IPsec VPN and 1.4 Million concurrent sessions — so everything that applies to the FortiGate 70G applies here unchanged.

Is this the right model?

Where it fits — and where it stops fitting

Compare the whole range

The strongest price-performance point in the integrated-wireless range, and the only one at this tier with both WiFi and PoE variants — the 70F and 90G have no wireless option at all. It sustains 10 Gbps of firewall throughput at every tested frame size and manages up to 96 FortiAPs, so a site can start as one box and grow into a proper wireless deployment without replacing the firewall.

Highlights

  • Identical firewall specification to the FortiGate 70G
  • Integrated access point — no separate AP or controller
  • Manages up to 96 additional FortiAPs as the site grows
  • Region-locked SKU — we confirm the correct part number

Typical deployments

  • New branch builds on gigabit fibre with wireless from day one
  • Sites expected to add access points as they grow
  • Wireless-first small offices doing meaningful SSL inspection
Specifications

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 / 10 Gbps
IPsec VPN throughput (512 byte)IPsec VPN performance test uses AES256-SHA256.7.1 Gbps
IPS throughput (enterprise mix)IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection are measured with logging enabled.2.5 Gbps
NGFW throughput (enterprise mix)NGFW performance is measured with firewall, IPS and application control enabled, enterprise mix traffic.1.5 Gbps
Threat protection throughput (enterprise mix)Threat protection performance is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection enabled, enterprise mix traffic.1.3 Gbps
SSL inspection throughput (IPS, avg. HTTPS)SSL inspection performance values use an average of HTTPS sessions of different cipher suites.1.4 Gbps
Application control throughput (HTTP 64K)3.6 Gbps
Firewall latency2.46 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.

Wireless
Integrated access pointYes — this is the wireless variant of the FortiGate 70G
Radio generationVaries by model and regional SKU — confirmed at quote
Regulatory domainRegion-locked SKU — must match country of deployment
