Attention - the seller (Amazon US) sells the device without an invoice
The device may be good, but there is no way to get the invoice abroad (Germany). The seller does not issue an invoice. I therefore advise against buying it!

Excellent Wireless Access Point for commercial use
This type of equipment is not for really for residential usage, although the tenacious tinker among us will probably find a way to successfully configure it and understand it's considerable capabilities as a wireless access point. For business/commercial usage, you will find nothing better. It is very important that you register this device with Fortinet as soon as you get it. Make sure this done immediately after purchasing and receiving the device, so that you can get the latest firmware loaded and determine if it's of type "lemon". Although rare with Fortinet equipment, even the best equipment can be delivered with a defect from the factory, and although it's rare with these particular devices, it is always a remote possibility. Note that after the 90 day of default warranty coverage, this equipment can be covered with a 1 or more year warranty (basically for SA and continuation of lemon-aid purposes). These WAP units are well built and very capable. Fortinet also offers an awesome cloud management system which will ease configuration of the device for use with your firewall. It can also be used with FortiGate firewall integrated wireless controllers, for local management. What's not to like...?

Doesn't Work
We have been troubleshooting and trying to get the AP to work. Have just decided something is wrong with it.

Works OK, not great.
So I use two of these in a 2000 Sq. Ft. house, and they still report 25% of my clients are weak, 50% are OK, and 25% are good. Now here is the crazy thing. They report receiving "interfering" access points miles away. So I receive 142 rouge access points, (with widely spaced house) but the signal to my CLIENTS INSIDE my house get a weaker signal. Go figure.Update: So since WiFi is a two-way wireless signal, it turns out, turning way DOWN the power of this access point helps. If your phone can only transmit at a low power, it doesn't help to have an AP at high power.
