Place the unit on a stable surface. It requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance above and 

on each side to allow for cooling. 

Locate the FortiWiFi-60 in a prominent location within a room for maximum coverage, 

rather than in a corner.

Be aware of the construction of your environment, concrete and metal walls can hamper 

signal strength.

Keep the AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away from appliances such as micro-

wave ovens and cordless phones.

Connect the FortiWiFi unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.

Before beginning to configure the FortiWiFi unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select: 

NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiWiFi unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of 

its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be 

configured with an IP address 

that is valid for that network.

You would typically use NAT/

Route mode when the FortiWiFi 

unit is deployed as a gateway 

between private and public net-

works. In its default NAT/Route 

mode configuration, the unit 

functions as a firewall. Firewall 

policies control communications 

through the FortiWiFi unit. No 

traffic can pass through the 

FortiWiFi unit until you add fire-

wall policies.

In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT 

mode, the FortiWiFi unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to 

the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.

In Transparent mode, the FortiWiFi unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on 

the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make 

configuration changes. 

You would typically use the For-

tiWiFi unit in Transparent mode 

on a private network behind 

an existing firewall or behind a 

router. In its default Transpar-

ent mode configuration, the unit 

functions as a firewall. No traffic 

can pass through the FortiWiFi 

unit until you add firewall poli-

cies. 

You can connect up to four net-

work segments to the FortiWiFi 

unit to control traffic between 

these network segments.

Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control traffic, and how to configure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content filtering, Spam filtering, 

intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

You can quickly set up your FortiWiFi unit for a home or small office using the web-based 

manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.

All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based 

manager, and configure the required settings for the WAN1 interface. You can also configure 

DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiWiFi unit automatically assigns IP addresses to 

up to 100 computers in the internal network.

Connect the FortiWiFi unit to the network.

Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.

The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns 

IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate web-

based manager appears.

Go to 

System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the WAN1 interface.

Select one of the following Addressing modes

Manual: enter a static IP address and netmask, select OK, and go to step 6

DHCP: to get an IP address from the ISP select DHCP and go to step 9

PPPoE: to get an IP address from the ISP select PPPoE and go to step 9

Go to 

System > Network > DNS.

Select one of the following DNS settings

ISP, select Apply

Use the following DNS server addresses: select and enter the DNS server address-

es given to you by the ISP, select Apply

Go to 

Router > Static, select Create New, enter the default gateway address and select 

OK. Network configuration is complete. Proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.

Select Retrieve default gateway from server and Override internal DNS options if your 

ISP supports them, select OK, and proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.

Go to step 6 if you are not selecting these options.
