100E as WiFi Controller

[MarkE]

We currently have 20 Ap's managed by a 100E. Expansion is coming and I will need to add 16 more all in the same distribution center. From what I see the device can only manage 32. What is the next level model that would max out at 64? I have looked at the max value tables and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks

Check the Fortinet Product Matrix. You should get a summary of AP support for all models there

Look for: Max FortiAPs (Total / Tunnel)

Hi Mark,

maybe it helps to change the connection mode (tunnel to bridge):

or as the article says - upgrade.

Best regards,
