Hello, everyone!
The current version of our Fortigate is "FortiOS v6.4.6 build6131 (GA)" when the latest version available on Fortigate website is above 7.4.
The current version of our FortiAPs is 7.0 while the latest version available is 7.4.2.
We have recently faced a few problems here and there, especially with the access points. In some random cases, a FortiAp 231F shows as OFFLINE on Fortigate. In some cases, more than one has that same problem. After rebooting Fortigate or even the FortiAP, this is not fixed. After some time, the APs start functioning normally.
After doing some research, I found out that the firmware version could be a cause for the problems we faced.
Thank you in advance!

Hi @sagvan ,
Version 6.4.6 is quite old, please bear in mind that 6.4.x will be EOS later this year. I would recommend you to upgrade at least to the latest 6.4.15 release, then also evaluating to move to 7.0.x or 7.2.x.
Please read the release notes and follow the upgrade path suggested on the support website.
Please also find below the recommended versions for FOS:
