Hi Hemin88,

Always use a mature version, the following article explain the differences between mature and feature.

Version 7.0.x, 6.4.x, 6.2.x are out of engineering support, avoid those version if possible.

Hi @Hemin88 ,

Without your FGT hardware model info, we can't provide appropriate recommendations.

For example, let's say, 7.0.16 is a stable firmware. But your FGT model is 30E. There is no 7.0 image for FGT 30E at all. Is FortiOS 7.0.16 a suitable recommendation for you in this case?
