Fortinet FortiWiFi 71G Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-FW71G-210-02-36)

Three-year network refresh cycles are a common anchor for branch IT planning. The FortiWiFi 71G Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA (FC-10-FW71G-210-02-36) aligns hardware recovery SLAs with that timeline: over the 36-month term, a replacement unit ships the next calendar day after any confirmed FortiWiFi 71G failure, without waiting for the defective unit to be returned first.

What This Service Covers

This is a Priority RMA add-on for FortiCare Premium or Elite subscribers on the FortiWiFi 71G. Standard FortiCare replaces failed hardware through a return-first process that can leave a branch offline for days. The Next Calendar Day add-on changes that: Fortinet ships an advance replacement the next calendar day after TAC confirms the hardware failure. Over a 3-year deployment, that SLA stays in place without requiring an annual renewal.

Who Needs This

IT operations teams running FortiWiFi 71G units across branch or retail locations where a hardware failure takes down both network security and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity simultaneously. A next-calendar-day commitment is the right threshold for sites that can absorb one business day of disruption but need certainty about when recovery begins. It is the lower-cost alternative to the 4-hour tier when strict hour-level SLAs are not required.

Activation and Delivery

Delivered electronically in 0–1 business days. Register the license in the FortiCare Support Portal using the FortiWiFi 71G serial number. The 36-month coverage period begins on the activation date. To initiate a replacement, open a TAC case, confirm the fault with Fortinet’s support team, and Fortinet ships the advance replacement for next-calendar-day delivery.

This Service Versus a FortiWiFi 71G Subscription Bundle

This add-on addresses hardware replacement speed. If the FortiWiFi 71G also needs FortiGuard security feeds — URL filtering, application control, IPS, antivirus — a subscription bundle such as UTP or Enterprise covers those services plus FortiCare Premium in one SKU. Stack the Next Calendar Day Priority RMA on top for hardware assurance. Evaluate the total cost of bundle plus add-on against individual services for your environment.
