Question

Wireless lan throughput of fortigate 100D

I need to know the throughput of fortigate boxes and how it can manage ac wave throughput even though that some APs exceeds 1 g throughput

    Your question isn't really clear, so I'm taking a guess here. AC wave 1 throughput is theoretically 1300mbps. Reality is that you rarely get above 60% of theoretical throughput even under good conditions, so you might saturate a 1gpbs link. A 100D should have no trouble with that.

     

    Wave 2 is a different story, but there is little hardware today that uses it as far as I know.

    My question is : the fortigate 100D as a wireless controller receive wireless traffic from various APs, So if I have (For example 16 APs) AC connected through the box , I need to know the wireless LAN throughput that the box will give me to avoid wireless bottleneck .

    Hey,

     

    this will depend on how you use your Access Points. The 100D has a theoretical CAPWAP throughput of 1,2GBit/s so in CAPWAP mode this will be the hard limit - If you use the box for other features as well you should avoid thinking beyond 1GBit/s.

     

    If you terminate your traffic locally from the access point - then every AP will be able to max out its link...
