> Has anyone used a Fortigate to manage WAP's? We received a free FAP-221A with our Fortigate 300C. It was part of their promotion, trying to sell us their APs.
Using the FortiOS 4.x software, the APs were forced to be on a different subnet than our normal networks, and this was not what we wanted to do with our wireless network. Thus, we did not get much use out of our free AP. Also, our existing Ruckus wireless network was working very well, so we didn't need the additional coverage. I understand that the 5.x version of FortiOS will allow the APs to work on the same network as the rest of your LAN. I have not played with this. > > I'm interested to hear how well they perform.
