hey guys, im having a little trouble with inbuilt wifi, i got a Fortiwifi 60F, and i want to split the 5Ghz band and 2.4Ghz So i made two SSIDS, and applied them manually to the 2.4 and 5Ghz profiles, but the 5Ghz has no internet.

It also seems like nothing happens when i try and connect my TV, the SSID and password are the same before i swapped out my old router with the fortiwifi firewall.

But my mobile phones all work on the 2.4Ghz inbuilt profile that came by default, i just changed the SSID and password. Screenshot 2025-04-05 092218.png Screenshot 2025-04-05 092240.png Screenshot 2025-04-05 092250.png

My printer also wont connect, all of this worked on the same SSID settings and wifi settings, i made them the same on the fortigate so everything would automatically connect.

Check this WiFi product datasheet, and look at "Number of Radius". All FWF models, except the one with "-2R" at the end, has only one RADIO. So if you configured it as 2.4GHz, no 5GHz.

i find that odd as yes theirs one radio, but their is profiles for each band, and the ability to assign those profiles manually to SSID's, could that not split the connectivity based on SSID somehow?

I do have a Unifi AP i could plug in, but i have no idea how to get that working.
