OVERVIEW

What the FortiAP 231K is for

The FortiAP 231K is Fortinet's entry Wi-Fi 7 indoor access point - a three-radio 2x2 design that brings full Wi-Fi 7, 6 GHz and 320 MHz channels to mainstream spaces at the lowest cost in the K-series line. It serves clients on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz at once and runs WIDS / WIPS rogue scanning in background or dedicated mode, so you keep visibility into the airspace. A 5 Gigabit multigigabit uplink and 802.3at PoE make it an easy fit on existing switch infrastructure - no re-cabling and no high-power PoE budget required. An integrated BLE / Zigbee radio and on-board GPS support beacons and locationing, and the AP is managed by any FortiGate or by FortiEdge Cloud - no separate controller and no per-AP management license. Step up to the quad-radio 241K for a dedicated scanning radio and 10 GbE uplink, or to the 4x4 441K for the highest client density.

FAQ

FortiAP 231K - frequently asked questions

The FortiAP 231K is a current-generation Wi-Fi 7 access point, actively sold and fully supported. It is not on an end-of-order or end-of-support schedule.

Both are 2×2 Wi-Fi 7 APs. The 231K is a three-radio entry AP on 802.3at PoE with a 5 GbE uplink – the value choice for mainstream coverage. The 241K adds a fourth dedicated scanning radio, a 10 GbE uplink and 802.3bt PoE for busier, higher-throughput spaces.

It is a Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) AP with three radios and 2×2 MU-MIMO, reaching about 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 2.88 Gbps on 5 GHz and 5.77 Gbps on 6 GHz (roughly 9.3 Gbps aggregate), and supports up to 512 clients per serving radio.

It runs at full 2×2 capability on standard 802.3at PoE (or 802.3af at 1×1, or a 12 V DC supply). Its uplink is a multigigabit RJ45 supporting 100M / 1G / 2.5G / 5G, so it fits existing switching without high-power PoE or new cabling.

The 231K is in stock and usually dispatched the same or next business day. FortiCare support and subscriptions are delivered electronically, worldwide. We are an authorized Fortinet Select Partner.
