FortiGate 70G and FortiWiFi 70G

What the FortiGate 70G is

The 70G keeps the ten-port desktop layout of the 60F (seven internal, two WAN and one DMZ RJ45 port) and raises threat protection to 1.3 Gbps in the Fortinet data sheet. The -POE versions change the port mix to four internal ports, four PoE ports and two WAN ports ("4x GE RJ45 PoE ports"), so the firewall can power access points or phones directly. 71G versions add a 64 GB SSD.

The Fortinet Product Matrix lets a 70G manage up to 96 FortiAP access points (48 in tunnel mode), 24 FortiSwitch switches and 1.4 million sessions. The SD-WAN bundle's FortiSASE Starter Kit is "Only supported on FortiGate/FortiWiFi models from the 70F ... and FGR-60G onwards" (data sheet), so it is available on the 70G and 70F but not on the 30G to 60F.

FortiGate 70G models and part numbers

70G variant chooser

UK FortiWiFi codes. Fortinet ships each FortiWiFi model with its radio regulatory domain set at the factory, shown by the suffix on the part number; the United Kingdom code is E (Fortinet KB, regional code suffixes), so every FortiWiFi part number on this page ends in -E. Order the -E code for UK use: the Fortinet KB says the region code is hard-coded and cannot be changed on FortiAP units.

FortiGate 70G and 70F specifications

Figures are Fortinet data-sheet figures. Fortinet: "All performance values are 'up to' and vary depending on system configuration." Threat protection is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection enabled, so it is the figure to size on. Sources: FortiGate/FortiWiFi 70G Series Data Sheet (FGFWF-70G-DAT-R10, 29 Sep 2026) (opens in a new tab) and FortiGate 70F Series Data Sheet (FG-71F-DAT-R18, 1 Oct 2026) (opens in a new tab).

The FortiGate 70F and FG-71F

The current Fortinet models table still lists the FortiGate 70F (800 Mbps threat protection). Its data sheet orders it only as the FG-71F, with a 128 GB SSD, and the FG-71F-HA for an HA pair; there is no FG-70F part number in the current Fortinet list.

The 70F manages fewer FortiAP access points than the 70G (64 against 96 in the Product Matrix) but supports more sessions (1.5 million against 1.4 million). For a new site we usually suggest the 70G; the 71F suits a site that is matching an existing 70F or 71F pair. HA pair part numbers. Fortinet -HA codes "must be bought in pairs and entitle HA pair to leverage single service contracts (limited to Enterprise, UTP, and ATP bundles only)". Order two units of the -HA code for an active-passive or active-active cluster; we confirm the subscription for the pair at quote.

Subscriptions and support

The security services that make a FortiGate firewall a next-generation firewall come as FortiGuard subscriptions: the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), Unified Threat Protection (UTP) or Enterprise Protection (ENT) bundle, the SD-WAN bundle, or single services, for 1, 3 or 5 years. Fortinet says "All bundles include FortiCare Premium Services"; FortiCare support can also be bought on its own. FortiGuard bundles compared explains what each bundle adds.

They are an alternative to ordering the appliance and the bundle as two lines.

Moving from a 60F

The 70G has the same ten-port layout as the FortiGate 60F, for which Fortinet has announced end of order on the FG-60F and FG-61F, so the cabling usually stays as it is. We can quote the 70G with its own FortiGuard bundle and migrate the configuration, with the scope confirmed at quote.

How to order

How ordering works. Press Add next to a part number and it goes into your basket; where a security subscription or support contract goes with the firewall, you choose it in the same step. Add any accessories, then View basket and Request a quote. We check every line, quantity and term against your sites and come back with a personalised quote by email. Nothing is charged online. We can also design, supply, stage, install and configure the firewalls, VPNs and policies as a project, with the scope confirmed at quote (see network installation).
