Fortinet FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL FortiCare Elite Support, 3-Year (FC-10-W80FS-284-02-36)

Branch sites running the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL often combine wireless access, firewall, and cellular failover in one appliance. When that box is the only security gateway at a location, the support contract behind it matters. FC-10-W80FS-284-02-36 covers it under FortiCare Elite for 3 years, balancing comprehensive coverage against a planning horizon that allows for a hardware review before a 5-year commitment.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FC-10-W80FS-284-02-36 is a standalone 3-year FortiCare Elite contract for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL. Elite is the highest FortiCare tier and includes the Elite monitoring portal for proactive health and security event visibility, extended LTS firmware branch access for long-term stability, and dedicated access to Fortinet’s premium support resources. No prior FortiCare Premium is required before applying this contract.

FortiCare Tiers at a Glance

FortiCare Elite is where this subscription sits. Here’s a direct comparison across all three FortiCare tiers for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL:

Who Buys This

IT managers responsible for branch sites that lack on-site technical staff. The Elite monitoring portal reduces the need for someone to actively check device health by alerting when issues develop. The 3-year term appeals to organizations that tie support renewals to a 3-year equipment or budget cycle, or that want Elite coverage now but plan to reassess hardware options at the 3-year mark.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W80FS-284-02-36 delivers as an electronic license key. DataCenter360.ca sends it to your order email within 0-1 business days. No hardware ships. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com by associating the key with your FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL serial number. The hardware must be registered in the Fortinet Support Portal before a support contract can be applied.

This Contract vs Adding Individual Services

If the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL is starting fresh with no attached subscriptions, a UTP or Enterprise bundle may consolidate FortiGuard security services and FortiCare into one license at a better per-service price. FC-10-W80FS-284-02-36 is the right choice when you specifically need a standalone 3-year Elite support contract, or when FortiGuard subscriptions are managed separately on a different renewal cycle.
