Do FortiAP access points need a separate controller?
No. An existing FortiGate acts as the controller for most deployments, which avoids buying and maintaining separate wireless management.

Fortinet Wireless Access Points and Managed Wi-Fi
Overview
Fortinet Wireless Access Points and Managed Wi-Fi
FortiAP access points are managed from the FortiGate you already own, which keeps wireless policy and firewall policy in one place. We supply indoor, outdoor and wall-plate FortiAP models, size coverage from a survey, and hand over a working SSID plan rather than a box of radios.

Choosing the right FortiAP model
Indoor 231 and 234 series cover most offices, 431 series handles high-density areas such as auditoriums and warehouses, and outdoor-rated units serve yards, car parks and between-building links.
- Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E indoor units for offices and classrooms
- High-density models for meeting halls, warehouses and retail
- Outdoor and wall-plate variants for yards, hotels and student rooms
Managed from the FortiGate
Running access points under FortiGate control means one policy set, one logging point and one console. Guest portals, staff SSIDs and IoT networks land on separate VLANs with the same inspection the wired network gets.
- Guest, staff and IoT SSIDs on separate VLANs
- Captive portal and voucher-based guest access
- Wireless traffic inspected by the same FortiGate policy set
Survey, cabling and PoE
Coverage problems are usually placement and power, not the access point. We survey, mark mounting positions, confirm cable runs and specify a PoE+ switch with enough budget for every radio at full power.
- Predictive and on-site wireless surveys
- Cable run and mounting plan before hardware ships
- Matched PoE+ switching so no access point runs throttled

FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
Can you survey a site before quoting?
Yes. We run a predictive survey from floor plans and, for larger or awkward sites, an on-site survey before finalising access point counts.
