Fortinet FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL FortiCare Essential, 3-Year (FC-10-W80FS-314-02-36)

Three years is a common refresh cycle for branch hardware — long enough to amortize the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL’s cost, short enough to stay current with FortiOS improvements before a generation falls behind. FC-10-W80FS-314-02-36 covers that three-year window at FortiCare Essential level: firmware access, support portal, and next-business-day hardware replacement without the full cost of Premium or Elite.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

This subscription (FC-10-W80FS-314-02-36) is FortiCare Essential — Fortinet’s foundational support tier. It is active during the 3-Year coverage period.

• Firmware updates: download all FortiOS releases, hotfixes, and security patches during the active term.
• Fortinet Support Portal: submit and track web tickets, access the knowledge base, and manage device registrations.
• Hardware replacement RMA: next-business-day replacement if the covered unit has a verified hardware failure.

FortiCare Essential does not include telephone support or Priority RMA. For those features, see FortiCare Premium (-247-) or upgrade to a bundle subscription.

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

Three tiers are available for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL. This product covers Essential.

Who Buys This

IT administrators managing FortiWiFi 80F-2R-3G4G-DSL units that are past the initial bundle period, or devices purchased as hardware-only units that need a support subscription added. Common use cases:

• Renewing coverage after an initial Essential term expires.
• Adding foundational support to a hardware-only purchase before deployment.
• Budget-constrained environments where firmware access and RMA coverage are the priority over telephone support.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W80FS-314-02-36 is delivered electronically. After your order is confirmed, a license registration key is sent to your email address — no hardware ships. To activate, log into the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com, register the FWF-80F-2R-3G4G-DSL serial number (if not already registered), and apply the key. Coverage begins from the activation date.

One Service vs. a Bundle

FortiCare Essential covers device support; it does not enable FortiGuard security services such as IPS signatures, Application Control, or DNS/Web Filtering. If your deployment also needs those services, a bundle subscription (FC-10-W80FS-950-02-12 for UTP, FC-10-W80FS-809-02-12 for Enterprise) rolls FortiCare Premium and the full FortiGuard stack into a single subscription at a lower per-service cost than buying each piece separately. DataCenter360.ca carries both bundles for the FWF-80F-2R-3G4G-DSL.
