Role of the FortiWifi-40C:
A compact secure wireless gateway for small offices and branch sites, providing integrated firewalling and Wi-Fi access.
Evolving Traffic Patterns:
Encrypted traffic, remote access, cloud adoption, and IoT growth require higher throughput and improved wireless performance.
Modern Demands:
Secure wireless access, deeper inspection, SD-WAN, and cloud integration exceed what the older platform can reliably deliver.
Strategic Upgrade:
Choose a replacement with better wireless performance, advanced security features, lifecycle support, and scalability to enhance security and operational efficiency.
No Security Patches
Outdated devices won’t receive updates, leaving your network exposed to new vulnerabilities.
Lack of Vendor Support
Once support ends, there’s no access to Fortinet’s technical resources or RMA services.
Compliance Failures
Auditors may flag unsupported hardware as a violation of security and industry standards.
Operational Instability
Legacy devices may struggle with modern workloads, encrypted traffic, and cloud integrations.
Lifecycle Planning:
Track Fortinet GA → EOS → EOL → EOSL.
Seamless Migration:
Dedicated engineers ensure minimal downtime.
Future-Proof Security:
Replace with next-gen models aligned to your needs.
