The FortiWiFi 50E is an end-of-life compact desktop next-generation firewall from Fortinet's 50E series, built for small offices and branches that need enterprise-grade protection plus integrated Wi-Fi in a fanless chassis. It delivers 2.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 220 Mbps NGFW, 160 Mbps of threat protection and 1,800,000 concurrent sessions across seven GE RJ45 ports, with a built-in dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n access point, SD-WAN and FortiGuard security in FortiOS.
The 50E reached end of life, so the hardware is no longer sold; you can still renew its FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support to keep an installed unit protected, using the renewal options below. When you are ready to replace it, the currently-shipping FortiWiFi 50G is the direct successor — Wi-Fi 6 and roughly 2x the firewall throughput with far higher NGFW and threat protection — and the FortiWiFi 70G steps up further for growing sites. See the upgrade path below.

Download the FortiGate/FortiWiFi 50E datasheetSame 50E-series desktop platform and 2.5 Gbps firewall performance. The FortiGate 50E is wired-only; the FortiWiFi 50E adds an integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n access point, and the FortiWiFi 51E adds a 32 GB onboard SSD.
The FortiWiFi 50E is end of life. The FortiWiFi 50G is the direct, currently-shipping replacement with Wi-Fi 6 and about 2x the firewall throughput with much higher NGFW and threat protection; the FortiWiFi 70G steps up further. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

No. The FortiWiFi 50E (FWF-50E) has reached end of life and the hardware is no longer sold. You can still renew FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support for an installed unit, and we can quote the current FortiWiFi 50G as a direct replacement.
The FortiWiFi 50G is the direct, currently-shipping replacement — same compact desktop form factor with Wi-Fi 6, 5 Gbps firewall throughput and 1.1 Gbps of threat protection, well above the FortiWiFi 50E. For more capacity, step up to the FortiWiFi 70G.
