Fortinet FortiWifi 30G

The Fortinet FortiWiFi 30G is the wireless-equipped sibling of the FortiGate 30G, combining a next-generation firewall, integrated SD-WAN and built-in dual-radio Wi-Fi in a single desktop appliance for small offices and distributed enterprise sites. It delivers 4 Gbps firewall throughput, 800 Mbps IPS throughput and 500 Mbps threat protection throughput across 4x GE RJ45 ports (3x internal, 1x WAN), plus 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless on dual 2.4 GHz/5 GHz radios.

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services run natively on the appliance as part of Fortinet’s Security Fabric, drawing on the latest threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs to defend against zero-day and AI-driven attack techniques. Network and file security draw on more than 18,000 IPS signatures with AI/ML-driven packet and SSL inspection and virtual patching for newly disclosed vulnerabilities, while anti-malware combines antivirus with sandboxing and application control gives real-time visibility of the apps on the network.

Web and DNS security defends against DNS-based attacks, malicious URLs, botnets and DDoS threats: FortiGuard Labs blocks more than 500 million malicious URLs weekly and around 32,000 botnet attempts per minute. The 30G supports 3.5 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, up to 200 gateway-to-gateway and 250 client-to-gateway IPsec tunnels, and manages up to 16 FortiAPs and 8 FortiSwitches.

Frequently asked questions

Bundle or hardware only?

Hardware only is the appliance with no FortiGuard subscription — right for sites that already hold licences or renew separately. The bundles add FortiCare Premium support plus a FortiGuard security services subscription (Unified Threat Protection or Enterprise Protection) for 1, 3 or 5 years, activated with the unit.

What does the FortiWiFi 31G add?

The 31G is the same platform with 30 GB of local storage for on-box logging and reporting; the 30G has no local storage. Both include the same dual-radio 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless.

Is the 30G the right size?

With 500 Mbps threat protection throughput and 600,000 concurrent sessions it suits small offices and branch sites that also need built-in Wi-Fi. If you need more inspected throughput, the FortiWiFi 50G roughly doubles the IPS and threat protection figures.
