Fortinet FortiWiFi 51G FortiGuard URL, DNS & Video Filtering, 1-Year (FC-10-FW51G-112-02-12)

Web control requirements vary by site. Some environments need the full FortiGuard stack; others have a specific content-filtering gap to close on a device that already carries other coverage. The FC-10-FW51G-112-02-12 adds FortiGuard URL, DNS, and video filtering to the FortiWiFi 51G for one year — targeted coverage without changing the rest of the security stack. License only, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

Three related content control layers activate on the FortiWiFi 51G for the full twelve months:

• URL / Web Filtering: FortiGuard Labs maintains a continuously updated database of rated domains. Block, allow, monitor, or restrict by category: malicious sites, phishing, adult content, social media, gambling, streaming, and administrator-defined custom lists.
• DNS Filtering: stops threats at the DNS resolution stage, before an HTTP connection forms. Blocks lookups to known-bad domains, botnet command-and-control infrastructure, and policy-violating destinations, with DNSSEC validation and DNS tunneling detection included.
• Video Filtering: applies granular policy to video streaming platforms by category and individual channel, including YouTube, beyond what standard URL filtering alone controls. The FortiWiFi 51G (51G series) supports this feature; the restriction noted in Fortinet documentation applies to the separate 50G series models.

FortiGuard Labs updates the URL and DNS category databases continuously as threat actors shift infrastructure and register new domains.

Who needs the standalone service

This service fits deployments where content filtering is the specific layer being added to a FortiWiFi 51G that already carries other coverage: an existing IPS or malware subscription, a FortiCare support contract, or a deployment scoped to acceptable-use policy enforcement and DNS protection. If the device has no active security subscriptions yet, a UTP or Enterprise bundle is a more cost-effective path to comprehensive coverage.

Standalone filtering vs. the subscription bundles

URL, DNS, and video filtering is included in both the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FortiWiFi 51G. Buying this license activates the filtering layer only. The table below shows what the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise tiers provide relative to this standalone service:

If moving the FortiWiFi 51G to full coverage is the goal, the UTP subscription (FC-10-FW51G-950-02-12) or Enterprise subscription (FC-10-FW51G-809-02-12) includes this filtering layer as part of a broader package.

Activation and delivery

The license registers to the FortiWiFi 51G serial number through the Fortinet Support portal. URL, DNS, and video filtering database updates push to the device via FortiGuard for the full twelve-month term. Nothing ships. A valid FortiWiFi 51G with current management access is required before activation.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Whether this standalone filtering license makes more sense than a UTP bundle depends on what the device already has registered. DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner and can walk through the cost comparison if the tradeoff isn’t clear. Licenses are genuine, delivered electronically to customers worldwide, and the checkout is fully secured.
