Our ISP recentlly upgraded our internet speeds to 4GB, Is it possible to use a 10gb tranciver in one of the open ports and use that as my WAN port? So I get better speeds (I know i wont get better speeds from desktops etc but I do have 4GB to 4GB site to site vpn tunnels that I do some backups over so it would help speed and time. Thanks in advance.

Sure you can. Just set the port's type to WAN.

Only 10Gbps SFP+ port on a 100F is X1/X2 ports. Those are by defefault configured as fortilink port. You have to remove one of them from fortilink then can use it as a wan port.
