Fortinet FortiWiFi 71G 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-FW71G-211-02-12)

Not every RMA commitment fits a multi-year contract. The FortiWiFi 71G 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA (FC-10-FW71G-211-02-12) gives you a single year of advance replacement coverage on the Wi-Fi 6 branch unit, with a replacement arriving within 4 hours of a confirmed failure. It is a practical starting point for teams piloting Priority RMA before committing to a longer term.

What the 1-Year 4-Hour Priority RMA Covers

This is a Priority RMA add-on for FortiCare Premium or Elite subscribers on the FortiWiFi 71G. Standard FortiCare RMA replaces hardware through a return-first process that can span days. Adding this service changes the delivery window to 4 hours: Fortinet ships a replacement unit before you return the failed one. One year of that coverage keeps the SLA in place through a full fiscal or contract cycle without a multi-year commitment.

Who This Service Fits

IT teams managing FortiWiFi 71G units at locations where simultaneous downtime of the firewall and the Wi-Fi 6 radio is unacceptable. The 1-year term suits organizations evaluating Priority RMA for the first time, aligning hardware support with an annual budget cycle, or covering a deployment during its initial year before moving to a longer term. It also fits smaller rollouts where committing to 3 or 5 years ahead of a refresh cycle does not make financial sense.

Activation and Delivery

Purchase and receive the electronic license in 0–1 business days. Register the SKU in the FortiCare Support Portal against the FortiWiFi 71G serial number. Coverage begins on activation and runs for 12 months. To initiate an RMA, open a TAC case and confirm the hardware fault with Fortinet’s support engineers. Once confirmed, Fortinet dispatches the advance replacement within the 4-hour window.

This Add-On Versus a Full Bundle

The 1-year Priority RMA covers hardware replacement speed. It does not include FortiGuard security services. If the FortiWiFi 71G also needs URL filtering, antivirus, IPS, or sandboxing, a subscription bundle such as UTP or Enterprise covers those services plus FortiCare Premium in one SKU, with this Priority RMA stackable on top. Compare the total cost of bundle plus add-on against individual services for your environment.
