FortiWiFi 60E Dual Band Not Working

Reading the overview of the FortiWiFi 60E it says that it's a built in dual band but I can only enable 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

Is there a way to enable both or am I missing something?

    HI CJ,

     

    I had a feeling that while being dual band, the FortiWiFi 60E were a single radio device. Mean you could have either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz but not both at the same time.

     

    However the spec sheet (https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/FortiGate_FortiWiFi_60E_Series.pdf) isn't that clear about it.

     

    However, a bit more googling find this (https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/Fortinet_Wireless_Product_Matrix.pdf) which does confirm the 60E is a single radio- ie as my feeling in the first sentence suggests.

     

    Sorry about that- you are stuck with either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz- not both.

     

    Kind Regards,

     

     

    Andy.

    Not only FWF60E but all FWFs support only one radio.

    One of the FWF Platforms that supports Two Radios is FWF50E-2R. It can be operated in 2.4GHz and 5GHz band simultaneously.
