We're using the wireless FortiAP F/221C and E model. I would like to find out what is the maximum number of clients/connections per unit. Thanks

    The latest version of the Matrix doc has only FAP221E. But all E version (Wave 2) models list "Per Radio Client Capacity" as 512, while all C version models list 128. I think the difference is due to Mu-MIMO or not.

    You have to change Channel Width on your FortiAp Profile

    The 221C access point model is planned for 25 customers. But if the 25 customers are just connected without downloading you can have more clients on the same access point

    I had the same question about the number of clients/connections per unit.  However I have a question, when they say 512 client, I guess they mean "idle" client. I can't believe that that a single ap server up to 512 client. I already have issues serving more that 30-40 clients on a 320C, which as per say it would be max to 128.
