Fortigate Home Setup Help

[jamacouve]

Hi Guys,

New to the forum. I have recently purchased a FortiWifi 30E for home.

I would like some opinions and thoughts on what and how to set it up in the best way. For eg. Guest Wifi and Normal Wifi.

Would you make a captive portal for guests ? Just use WPA2 ? 

Regards,

It would be completely up to you, how you want to serve your wifi to your home guests. One thing we experienced with captive portal (w/ and FortiAP+FG60D controller) is when a smartphone goes into power save mode it needs to go to the portal again when it wakes up. WPA2 private seems to be automatic (the phone remembers the preshared password).

Thanks guys. 

I think WiFi related I will do WPA2.

Just was asking if anyone had any specific things they would do. (Was thinking along the lines of preffering all my traffic lol and stopping people from doing updates

Additionally, configuring security features is key—enable firewalls and consider creating a separate VLAN for IoT devices to keep your primary devices safe from any potential IoT vulnerabilities. These simple adjustments can make your network more secure and user-friendly.
