Description
This article shows how to tweak the ACK timeout value on the FortiAP.

Solution
By default the ACK timeout is modified by max-distance option under AP profile. On long distance connections, typically point-to-point connections, it can be useful to set this parameter manually.

This can be done via the FortiAP CLI.

To get current ACK timeout on radio-1:
# iwpriv wifi0 get_acktimeout

To set ACK timeout on radio-1:
Iwpriv wifi- acktimeout 120
