Configuring 802.11k/r Devices can now benefit from the 802.11r implementation to fast roam between best available access points within a controller domain. Additionally, with implementation of 802.11k specifications you can now calculate 802.11k neighbor and radio measurement reports. The fast roaming capability and 802.11k is configurable in ESS profile. Supported Access Points: AP122, AP822, AP832, […]

FortiWLC – Hotspot 2.0
Hotspot 2.0 Hotspot 2.0 is a specification by the Wi-Fi Alliance that specifies a framework for seamless roaming between WiFi networks and Cellular networks. The specification is based on the IEEE802.11u standard; a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) that provides over-the-air Hotspot 2.0 transportation for frames of higher layer advertisements between stations APs and external information […]
FortiWLC – Automatic Radio Resource Provisioning (ARRP)
Automatic Radio Resource Provisioning (ARRP) By using the ARRP feature, each AP scans all channels and provides the scan details to the controller. The controller uses this information to select and allocate the best available channel per radio. By default, this feature is disabled. Supported only on 11ac APs. Once enabled, the virtual cell is […]
FortiWLC – Sitesurvey
Sitesurvey Fortinet sitesurvey is a simple tool that aids in network planning to find the right placement (mounting location) of APs such that clients connected to these APs receive high throughput, excellent coverage. To find the right placement of your AP, connect your Wi-Fi client to the AP that is in the sitesurvey mode and […]
FortiWLC – Configuring an AP’s Radio Channels
Configuring an AP’s Radio Channels AP channel configuration is configurable for 802.11bg which consists of 11 overlapping channels in United States deployments. Channel configuration for 802.11a is not an issue because there are no overlapping channels within the 802.11a spectrum. In the 802.11b/g standard, there are 14 channels. As a result of FCC rules, there […]
