Fortinet is working at my place looks good the equipment is nice. I teeter from one idea to another as I look through the interface. I had to use YouTube to get me through hooking-up the appliance. It works good, I can pause backup and go forward through the videos. Enhanced web and telephone support was necessary to get me logged into the dashboard. I could not reset the devise when advised over the phone. Support told me I did not have and support subscriptions. I mentioned it should go online without a subscription so I was offered to reset my device with a phone call. I could not hear and the call dropped three to four times. It was time to gave it a break for months to realize the reset button has to be hit for a long time to get the device to restart. Support told me this after I purchased the supports subscription for two of my devises. Knowing how to reset the devises made all the difference in the world for setting-up the FortiGate appliance. The login is now easy. I had internet outage from changing the settings it was easy to fix with a reset also did not take long to get the hang of it and now I have some ports named with the internet service provider as a WAN source on all the ports. I added a widget on the desktop for watching the bandwidth of my modem.
To be more precise I had purchased three devices Fortigate, Fortiswitch, and FortiAP. I opened the boxes and plugged everything together and connected to the internet. The dashboards conflicted between the devises. I opened the Fortigate dashboard and only changed the login. Next, I opened the Fortiswitch dashboard and didn't see much need for adjustment. The problem here is the Fortiswitch dashboard used the same IP address as the Fortigate dashboard. After I opened the Fortiswich dashboard the Fortigate dashboard would no longer open. I had not set-up the Fortigate any! Nothing worked until I purchased support. The devise worked without setting them up through the dashboards, I could tell on the streaming televisions I had plugged in. With the televisions working on the computer the Fortiswitch gave me a message invalid login. The reason I say the televisions worked is the programming showed an improvement immediately. Well, it fixed now and I still have some more setting-up to do. The FortiAP shows on Fortilink however the Wifi radios do not show working.
