FortiWiFi 61E has reached end of sale and is no longer available. The replacement model is the FortiWiFi 70G.
End-of-life compact fanless desktop next-generation firewall with integrated dual-band Wi-Fi and a 128 GB onboard SSD for local logging, built on Fortinet's SoC3 security processor, with 3 Gbps firewall throughput, 1.3 million concurrent sessions and ten GE RJ45 ports plus an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac access point for small offices and branches. The FortiWiFi 61E hardware is no longer sold — FortiGuard and FortiCare renewals are still available below, and the FortiWiFi 60F is the direct, currently-shipping Wi-Fi 6 replacement.
The FortiWiFi 61E is end of life. The FortiWiFi 60F is the direct, currently-shipping replacement with Wi-Fi 6 and a full-generation jump in throughput and threat protection; the FortiWiFi 70G steps up further. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

Download the FortiGate/FortiWiFi 60E series datasheetSame 60E-series desktop platform and 3 Gbps firewall performance built on the SoC3 security processor. The FortiGate models are wired-only; the FortiWiFi models add an integrated dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac access point, and the 61E variants add a 128 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting.
FortiGuard and FortiCare renewal subscriptions for installed FortiWiFi 61E units. Licensing is electronic and delivered worldwide.
No. The FortiWiFi 61E (FWF-61E) 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 60F as a direct replacement.
The FortiWiFi 60F is the direct, currently-shipping replacement — same compact desktop form factor with Wi-Fi 6 and a full-generation jump in firewall throughput and threat protection, well above the FortiWiFi 61E. For more capacity, step up to the FortiWiFi 70G.
Yes, while the model is in its renewal window. Choose a FortiGuard renewal bundle above, or renew individual FortiGuard services and FortiCare support. Licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
The FortiWiFi 61E has an integrated dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac access point (2×2 dual-stream) with internal antennas, plus a 128 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. If you need Wi-Fi 6, the currently-shipping FortiWiFi 60F is the replacement.
The FortiWiFi 61E delivers 3 Gbps firewall throughput, 400 Mbps IPS, 250 Mbps NGFW, 200 Mbps threat protection and 2 Gbps IPsec VPN, with 1,300,000 concurrent sessions and 30,000 new sessions per second, across ten GE RJ45 ports plus an integrated dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac access point and a 128 GB onboard SSD, in a fanless desktop chassis.
