Role of the FortiWifi-90D-K:
A compact, integrated wireless security appliance designed for small offices and branch locations—combining firewall, built-in Wi-Fi, and basic UTM services.
Evolving Traffic Patterns:
Modern branch and remote environments carry more encrypted traffic, higher device counts, and greater concurrent session loads. Wireless density and mixed IoT/worker device profiles demand improved throughput and radio performance.
Modern Demands:
Current requirements emphasize cloud-delivered security, centralized management, advanced threat protection, WPA3 and dual/tri-band readiness, and seamless SD-WAN integration to optimize application performance across links.
Strategic Upgrade:
Evaluate higher-capacity, cloud-manageable platforms or integrated wireless controllers that support modern Wi-Fi standards and advanced security services. Plan a phased migration that preserves existing policies, validates performance under load, and leverages professional services where needed.
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Outdated devices won’t receive updates, leaving your network exposed to new vulnerabilities.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.
