Review: very good product - excellent product with easy to configure
Review: Excellent Wireless Access Point for commercial use - This type of equipment is not for really for residential usage, although the tenacious tinker among us will probably find a way to successfully configure it and understand it's considerable capabilities as a wireless access point. For business/commercial usage, you will find nothing better. It is very important that you register this device with Fortinet as soon as you get it. Make sure this done immediately after purchasing and receiving the device, so that you can get the latest firmware loaded and determine if it's of type "lemon". Although rare with Fortinet equipment, even the best equipment can be delivered with a defect from the factory, and although it's rare with these particular devices, it is always a remote possibility. Note that after the 90 day of default warranty coverage, this equipment can be covered with a 1 or more year warranty (basically for SA and continuation of lemon-aid purposes). These WAP units are well built and very capable. Fortinet also offers an awesome cloud management system which will ease configuration of the device for use with your firewall. It can also be used with FortiGate firewall integrated wireless controllers, for local management. What's not to like...?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this need an activation key?**
A: Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry and sorry for the delay on answering your question. I was out sick since last Wednesday. 

The access point does not need an activation key. The warranty and any services that may be bundled on the unit will be automatically activated once it is registered with Fortinet.

However, if you purchase any addtional services to be added onto the unit, those particular services will require an activation key. If you happen to find and purchase any additional services through Amazon's system from a seller on Amazon, the license key should be emailed to you through Amazon's communication system by the seller you purchased it from but the certificate itself should also be shipped/mailed to you per Amazon's requirement for the order itself.

If you have any further questions or need to discuss options further, give me a call at 800-671-5569.

Thank You!

**Q: Does this model support VPN?**
A: Hello Brian,
This is an Access Point and not a firewall or router. Most Access Points I am aware of do not have VPN capabilities. However, I took a look at the data sheet to make sure. According to Fortinet's Data Sheet for the FAP-221E, it is not showing anything regarding VPN (Virtual Private Network) capabilities. 

VPN is traditionally be handled by the firewall since VPN traditionally is secure access to the network from outside the network perimeter and the AP is for accessing the network from wireless devices from within the network perimeter.

Hope that helps.

If you have any questions, feel free to call me. 

Thank you for the opportunity and privilege of serving you!

**Q: Is the ap "region code a"?  #fap-221e-a? (america)
please answer**
A: Yes, the FAP-221E-A product that we are selling is an America region code AP. Thank you for inquiring.

**Q: I have the fortiAP 221E and was wondering if there’s a maximum amount on users that can connect at once?**
A: Hello TZVI,
Good question. Per Fortinet's data sheet for the 221E, "Per Radio Client Capacity: Up to 512". 

However, that is max. If don't have another AP in play and you are reaching close to that capacity, I would seriously consider adding in another AP to assist in sharing the load. Also, you need to make sure you have a Firewall that can handle that type of traffic and the security needed as those same people attempt to access the internet for various reasons. 

If you have further questions, feel free to give us a call at 800-671-5569 (M-F: 9 am - 5 pm CST). Ask for Dorian Holland. He is the most knowledgeable regading Fortinet here.
