I ordered a new FG-60F at very reasonable price. I received a brand new FG-60F as described. There was a small tracking number mix up but I will definitely be ordering from these guys again. Big thumbs up!
Most negative reviewers aren’t doing their research when ordering. It’s a firewall. Licensing is separate.

Former Network Engineer here from ages past – I received my CCNA before CIDR notations were a thing.
Most Consumer WiFi ‘Routers’ (Netgear, Linksys, Asus, etc) that are also used for connectivity for PCs/XBoxes have underpowered/crippled Broadcom (and others) silicon and sometimes have software switched ethernet!
While it can be argued the firmware of a specific vendor has a lot to do with it, a large chunk of consumer WiFi gear uses the same underlying operating system; Linux with some binary firmware blobs (for the wifi controller/ethernet etc). OpenWRT seems better, but it still requires binary blobs.
Now, the 60F I purchased is not a WiFi router, but it’s a enterprise-class firewall, which can /behave/ like a router. It has IPv4/6 support, NAT, IDS, Firewalling, etc. Supports OSPF, BGP, RIP, Multicast.. However, the additional items (IDS, Antivirus) for this product are *not* cheap for the average home user. I’m sure there are similar vendors (Sonicwall, etc) that have cheaper options.
Now – to the replacement:
My existing setup was an Edgerouter. Ubiquiti products like the ER are awful (ER has hardware accel disabled by default and only decided to document it recently(?)). Was connected to Comcast Business and getting IPv4/IPv6 over DHCP. A common setup for home users.
The Wireless router was Netgear R7800 connected to switch0 on the ER. (The R7800, as a consumer router, is just… bad. And slow. The GUI is doesn’t have expansive options compared to other vendors that use the same exact Qualcomm radios. )
Unpacking was easy, connected Comcast to ‘Wan1’ and then a Computer to ‘Port 1’ – DHCP was already configured, and it immediately had internet access. Had to do some post configuration tweaking to get it to work the way I wanted with IPv6, DNS server on the LAN, etc.
This device has 8 CPUs, hardware-accelerated Ethernet switching, etc..
Model name: FortiGate-60F ASIC version: SOC4 CPU: ARMv8 Number of CPUs: 8 RAM: 1918 MB EMMC: 3662 MB(MLC) /dev/mmcblk0 Hard disk: not available USB Flash: not available Network Card chipset: FortiASIC NP6XLITE Adapter (rev.)
Pros:
– The GUI is very nice, as well as having SSH ship out of the box – A lot of common settings are available in the GUI – Fast (Hardware accelerated Ethernet, switching, firewalling/NAT, etc) – Plenty of memory. – Has support for OSPF, BGP, VPN, IDS (Antivirus, DNS blocking, Anti-Spam, etc etc), SNMP, DHCP, NAT/SNAT, NAT64, Traffic Shaping/QoS, VLANs, etc. – 21W of power usage – doing multiple gigabit transfers from the switchports – Low CPU usage when doing nearly full saturation of the ports – unlike my R7800 that would have load spikes of doing any large transfers which would kill WiFi performance – 10Gbit/s L3 forwarding performance – Can do a gigabit+ of firewalling
Cons:
– IPv6 interfaces aren’t configurable/showing in the GUI. You need to use CLI to set it up – Some things will /require/ the CLI (ie: get hardware status) – The documentation on some things could be better
Get yourself a few cheap WiFi APs and use this device for a router. You’ll never look back.

The DNS on this firewall is great but not passive enough for remoteapp to allow ALL apps to work without issues. This has had to be retired without any use due to the fact that it is not allowing certain software to connect to their hosts for validation per required authentication protocols necessary. Now that’s it’s past it’s allowed return date and even with support working with this to see how to make it work had to revert to another simple NAT router that would allow port forwarding without the issues of processing authentication blocks. It was set to ALL allowed ports but the software still would not allow authentication!!

Fortinet 60f is better than comparable Sonicwall’s tz370 or tz470 models due to the better performance for VPN traffic and reporting for compliance. Love it!

Male che non sia indicato nella descrizione che l’aggiornamento del sistema operativo è esclusivamente a pagamento!! SI A PAGAMENTO! Il piano di assistenza costa il doppio o il triplo del costo del Fortigate. FOLLIA o FURTO? Io ho rifiutato il collo.
