Downloading

Firmware images for all FortiGate units are available on the Fortinet Support website.

To download firmware:

1. Log into the site using your user name and password.
2. Go to Download > Firmware Images.
3. A list of Release Notes is shown. If you have not already done so, download and review the Release Notes for the firmware you wish to upgrade your FortiGate unit to.

4. Select Download.

   Firmware can also be downloaded using FTP; however, as FTP is not an encrypted file transferring protocol, HTTPS downloading is recommended.

5. Navigate to the folder for the firmware version you wish to use.
6. Select your FortiGate model from the list. If your unit is a FortiWiFi, the firmware will have a filename starting with 'FWF'.
7. Save the firmware image to your computer.
