FortiAP
FortiAP devices are thin wireless access points (AP) supporting the latest Wi-Fi technologies (multi-user MIMO 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2, 4x4), as well as 802.11n, 802.11AX , and the demand for plug and play deployment.

Description

This article offers guidance for users who are unable to connect to Wi-Fi after upgrading the FortiAP via FortiManager or FortiGate.

Scope FortiAP
Solution
  1. Pushing FortiAP Image from FortiManager and the WIFI are not able to connect after an upgrade

 

For Example:

Pushing the image from v7.0.1 to v7.0.4 For FortiAPU431F from the FortiManager, the Image was not able to download properly.

   

  1. Validate by using ‘wcfg’ and check if the FortiAP is stuck in RUN + Image Downloading.

   

Note:

The FortiAP does not receive the image directly from the FortiManager. In other words, the FortiManager pushes the image to the FortiGate, and the FortiAP retrieves the image when it reconnects to the controller/FortiGate.

  1. Value '65269729' is total bytes and after it completes the download then the image keeps downloading for in few seconds and it will loop
  2. There is no image stored on the primary FortiGate controller by validating the command ‘execute wireless-controller list-wtp-image’ and also not pushing any image from FortiManager.
  3. Check if disabling the below option fixes the issue on FortiGate:

 

config system global
    set image-download disable
end

 

  1. By enabling this option image-download and the FortiAP started to request the image download from the FortiGate:

  1. To Fix this issue, validate if the image is stored on the FortiGate secondary Firewall by using the below command:

 

execute wireless-controller delete-wtp-image all

 

  1. Enable the option image-download and validate if the FortiAP is not stuck in image+download and users can connect to the FortiAP without an issue.
