Fortinet FortiWiFi 71G Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-FW71G-210-02-12)

Before committing to a multi-year Priority RMA term, some teams want to evaluate how the service performs against real failure events. The FortiWiFi 71G Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA (FC-10-FW71G-210-02-12) provides that 12-month window: if the FortiWiFi 71G fails during the year, Fortinet ships an advance replacement the next calendar day after the fault is confirmed, without requiring the defective unit to be returned first.

What the 1-Year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Covers

This is a Priority RMA add-on for FortiCare Premium or Elite subscribers on the FortiWiFi 71G. Standard FortiCare returns hardware in a return-before-replace sequence. This add-on changes the logistics: Fortinet ships the replacement unit first, targeting next-calendar-day arrival after TAC confirms the failure. You return the defective unit after the replacement is in place. The 1-year term aligns with annual budget cycles or bridges a gap between FortiCare renewals.

Who This Service Suits

Teams evaluating Priority RMA at a smaller scale before rolling it out across all FortiWiFi 71G deployments, organizations that align all hardware support commitments annually, or sites that need Priority RMA coverage for one year while longer-term plans are finalized. The FortiWiFi 71G serves as both NGFW and integrated Wi-Fi 6 controller — a next-calendar-day replacement SLA is the practical threshold for locations that cannot dispatch a spare unit on demand but do not require same-day service.

Activation and Delivery

Electronic delivery in 0–1 business days after order confirmation. Register the license in the FortiCare Support Portal using the unit’s serial number. Coverage is valid for 12 months from the activation date. To use the service, open a TAC case when a hardware failure occurs. TAC confirms the failure and triggers dispatch of the advance replacement, targeting next-calendar-day delivery.

One Year of Priority RMA Coverage Versus a Bundle

This service handles hardware recovery speed. For FortiGuard security services — IPS, antivirus, application control, web filtering — a FortiWiFi 71G subscription bundle covers those alongside FortiCare Premium in a single SKU. If both are needed, a 1-year bundle paired with this add-on is worth comparing against purchasing each item separately. Review the total cost for your deployment.
