Question

We currently have a single wifi profile which is running on 2.4 GHz and need to enable the 5GHz spectrum. Setup all which I believe is needed but are not getting IP address for clients which connect to the new 5GHz profile. I assume I am missing a step. Any known article related to added an additional profile instead of editing existing and I would prefer to have two seperate SSID's so I can more easily identify which users are connected to which profile.

    Hello Eric,

     

    What model FortiWiFi are you currently using ? What is the FortiWifi OS Version ? 

     

    Here is a sample profile configuration you can use for broadcasting an SSID in 5GHz Band.

     

    config wireless-controller wtp-profile edit "11n-only"================> default profile  config platform set type FWF end set handoff-sta-thresh 30 config radio-1 set band 802.11ac set channel-utilization disable set vap-all disable set vaps "NPI-TL-7" set channel "36" "40" "44" "48" "149" "153" "157" "161" "165" end

    Hello Eric,

     

    FortiWiFi60E does not have Dual Radio. Hence you can operate at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Band.

     

    Please follow the configuration as above and see if it works.
