The FortiWiFi 81F-2R is the Wi-Fi 6 + SSD model of the FortiGate 80F series. It pairs the 80F platform's SoC4 secure SD-WAN ASIC — 900 Mbps threat protection, 10 Gbps firewall throughput, and 1.5 million concurrent sessions — with dual-radio 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), a dedicated scanning radio, and a 128 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. It is now end-of-order: hardware is no longer sold new, but subscriptions renew normally on installed units. For new deployments, the current FortiWiFi 71G delivers the same branch-in-a-box role on Fortinet's latest SP5 platform.

Mount the 81F-2R on a desk, wall, or in an optional RM-FR-T18 rack tray.
The FortiWiFi 81F-2R reached end-of-order on 2026-05-17, so the hardware is no longer sold new. Fortinet supports it with renewals until 2031-05-17, so FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions on installed units renew normally — see the purchasing options above. For new deployments, choose the current FortiWiFi 71G or the still-sold FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-PoE.
The FortiWiFi 71G is the direct current-generation replacement: the same desktop branch-in-a-box role with integrated Wi-Fi 6 on Fortinet’s newer SP5 platform. If you need PoE or integrated LTE, the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-PoE remains available today.
Yes. Renewals are active until the 2031-05-17 end-of-support date. Use the UTP or Enterprise renewal in the purchasing tables above; licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
Yes. It has integrated dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2×2 MU-MIMO) on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz plus a dedicated scanning radio, with maximum speeds of 1201 Mbps at 5 GHz and 574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz.
Performance is identical. The 81F-2R adds a 128 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting; the 80F-2R has no onboard storage. Both run Wi-Fi 6 on the same 80F SoC4 platform.
