Authorized Partner for United States (US)A FortiWiFi 80F-2R handling both perimeter security and wireless in a single box is doing double duty. Keeping FortiCare active ensures both functions receive firmware support and that hardware replacement coverage stays in place. The 1-year Essential term is a practical entry point: full coverage for a year with no long-term commitment required.
FortiCare Essential is the foundational support subscription for FortiWiFi appliances. It covers firmware and feature updates for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R, an advance hardware replacement program (next-business-day exchange), and Fortinet portal access for ticket creation and software downloads. Telephone support is not included at the Essential tier; that steps up to FortiCare Premium.
This product is the FortiCare Essential tier. The table below shows what each tier covers:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 4-hour callback | 15-min callback |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware replacement program | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, tools & portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The 1-year term works well for organizations that are mid-cycle on a FortiWiFi 80F-2R and need a single renewal year before a hardware refresh, for sites evaluating longer-term commitment before locking in three or five years, or for MSPs billing clients on annual service contracts. Teams with in-house support capability that do not require direct Fortinet telephone contact find Essential meets their needs at the base price point.
DataCenter360.ca delivers the license code electronically by email after order confirmation, typically the same business day. Activation is straightforward: log in to the FortiGate GUI, go to System > FortiGuard, and enter the code, or register at support.fortinet.com. No hardware is included or shipped.
FortiCare Essential keeps the appliance supported but does not turn on FortiGuard security services. If the FortiWiFi 80F-2R is currently running without active IPS, URL filtering, or AV coverage, a UTP or Enterprise bundle rolls those security services together with FortiCare Premium for a single annual renewal price that may be more cost-effective than purchasing each layer separately.
