Upgrading from a 30G-series wireless firewall to the G-series mid-tier? The FortiWiFi 50G (FWF-50G-A) delivers the same dual-band Wi-Fi 6 integration in a chassis that more than doubles the IPS throughput of the 30G — 2.25 Gbps vs 800 Mbps. Five RJ45 ports, an integrated 2.4/5 GHz radio, and 1.3 Gbps SSL inspection make it the right unit for branch offices with gigabit internet connections that also need local wireless coverage without a separate AP.

The 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) radio supports higher client density and better throughput than the 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) radios found in older FortiWiFi models. In offices where employees use multiple wireless devices simultaneously, Wi-Fi 6’s OFDMA scheduling keeps throughput consistent under load. All wireless traffic is inspected by the same security policies as wired traffic, with FortiGuard services applying to Wi-Fi clients and LAN clients alike — no additional configuration required to bring wireless into the security policy.
This listing is the appliance alone. FortiCare and FortiGuard services are required. License options use the FC-10-FW50G- prefix — the 1-Year UTP (FC-10-FW50G-950-02-12) and Enterprise (FC-10-FW50G-809-02-12) are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
Branch offices with 25 to 75 users requiring both wired firewall protection and local wireless coverage in a single desktop appliance are the core buyers. Professional offices, healthcare clinics, and retail locations upgrading from older FortiWiFi hardware benefit from the performance jump without increasing rack space or device count. MSPs standardizing on a single SKU for branches that need wireless choose the FWF-50G-A for its balance of throughput and simplicity.
The FortiWiFi 51G (FWF-51G-A) adds onboard SSD storage to the same wireless platform, enabling local log retention. If both integrated Wi-Fi and on-premises log storage are required, the 51G-A is the better choice.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner shipping from Canadian inventory with FCP-certified pre-sales support. Every unit ships factory-sealed with full Fortinet Canada warranty, free to all provinces in 0–1 business days.
The FWF-50G-A delivers significantly higher performance than the 30G-A: IPS throughput increases from 800 Mbps to 2.25 Gbps, SSL inspection from 400 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps, and new sessions per second from 30,000 to 85,000. Both include dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and five GE RJ45 ports. Choose the 50G-A when your internet connection or traffic volume has grown beyond what the 30G series handles.
For small offices with 20–40 wireless clients in a single open area, yes. For larger spaces, multi-floor coverage, or dense wireless environments, a dedicated FortiAP managed through the FortiGate provides better coverage and client capacity.
No. This is hardware only. FortiCare and FortiGuard subscriptions (FC-10-FW50G- prefix) are required and available separately.
Region Code A configures the wireless radio for North American regulatory requirements (Canada, USA, Mexico) — setting the correct frequency channels, widths, and transmit power limits. This is the correct variant for Canadian deployments.
Yes. DataCenter360.ca stocks the FWF-50G-A in Canada and ships free to all provinces in 0–1 business days.
