Which AP to choose

Hi,

We want to replace our Fortinet AP FAP221C with something better. We have problems with Apple devices like iPhone and laptops they frequently disconnects from access points. Can someone recommend more reliable Fortinet model?

Thanks,

Aigars

You can use whatever AP you want really. FortiAP integrates directly to the Gate which is nice. The 221C is good for most home\business users. If you have a ton of clients (and I mean A TON) you can look at the 320/321 but it is usually too expensive and overkill for home use needs.

Have you tried using the built in Rogue AP feature? It detects the local AP's that aren't yours etc?

I recall using that feature once just to perform a scan to see what was available in our area and confirmed that there were a ton of SSID's around us. Is there anything else useful about this feature that I can use to improve performance?
