Defining AP profiles
Now that the SSIDs are defined, we can create a FortiAP profile.
When we configure a new profile, we need to select the country and the FortiAP model. The number and type of radios depend on the model. As a result, SSID assignment may vary. As mentioned earlier, selecting the proper RF bands and channels can greatly improve bandwidth and coverage. See also Configuring FortiAP.
To define AP profiles:
- Go to AP Manager > WiFi Profiles > AP Profile, and click Create New. The Create New AP Profile pane is displayed.
- In the Name box, type a name for the profile.
- In the Platform list, select the FortiAP model.
- In the Country/Region list, select the country.
- Set the remaining options, and click OK.
