We have a need to install a FortiGate and a WAP in a small medical office. Is this FortiAP 221E well suited for this or is there a different FortiAP or a different WAP altogether that would be best?

    Absolutely solid and reliable. Haven't seen any FAP dead yet.

    You will probably have to turn down the output power a bit, and be glad that you can!

     

    (//unasked_for//) IMHO any FGT below a 60E is not a real firewall. The 30E only supports 2 FAPs (in tunnel mode), the 50E is a bit weak on CPU.

    Need to make a decision soon. Is a FortiAP 221E a good solid WAP for use in a small medical office? Don't need long range or capacity, just a good, reliable, modern AP.

     I think that would be enough for 30 - 40 man use WiFi
