Place the FortiWiFi unit on any flat, stable surface. Ensure the unit has at least 1.5 
inches (3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
Alternatively, you can use the mounting brackets to mount the FortiWiFi to a wall. 
To attach the mounting brackets, place the bracket so that the flat portion is away 
from the FortiWifi, and the bracket is supported by the bracket side bars. Use the 
four screws supplied to attach the bracket to the FortiWiFi unit. Repeat for the 
other bracket. See the illustration below for how the bracket is attached.

To mount to the wall, measure where the holes in the brackets are on the wall, and 
inser nails or screws. Hang the FortiWiFi on the nails or screws from the brackets.
Setting up a wireless network
When placing the FortiWiFi access point (AP), your main concern is providing a 
strong signal to all users. A strong signal ensures a fast connection and the 
efficient transfer of data. A weaker signal means a greater chance of data 
transmission errors and the need to re-send information, slowing down data 
transfer. 
Consider the following guidelines when placing the FortiWiFi AP: 
• Physical barriers can impede the radio signals. Solid objects such as walls, 
furniture and people absorb radio waves, weakening the signal. Be aware of 
the physical barriers in your office space that may reduce a signal. If there is 
enough physical interference, you may encounter dead spots that receive no 
signals. 
• Ensure the FortiWiFi AP is located in a prominent location within a room for 
maximum coverage, rather than in a corner. 
• Construction materials used in a building can also weaken radio signals. 
Rooms with walls of concrete or metal can affect the signal strength.
