Special notices

FortiGates running FortiOS version 6.2.2 have the following limitations when managing FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F:

  • Some FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F devices come preinstalled with a trial version firmware that is not compatible with FortiGate. For instructions on upgrading from the trial version firmware to a supported version, see Upgrade information.

  • FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F profiles, even if available, are not supported on the FortiGate web UI and can only be configured via the FortiGate CLI.

    The FortiAP Profiles page in the FortiGate web UI does not fully support FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F profiles; not all configurations will work. For more information, see the Known issues section in the FortiOS 6.2.2 Release Notes.

  • Some radio channels might be unavailable in certain countries or regions, such as EU countries.

    By default, FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F profiles have a "dual-5G" platform mode. This "dual-5G" platform mode sets the second radio of FAP-U431F and FAP-U433F devices to the upper 5GHz band including channels 100~144 and 149~165. However, those channels are not available in all countries or regions (e.g. EU countries) due wireless regulations and/or DFS certifications.

    To work around this issue, edit the wtp-profile of your FAP-U431F or FAP-U433F devices, and set the platform mode to "single-5G" via the FortiGate CLI.
