The FortiAP 231F is an enterprise-class indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point built for dense,
high-performance environments like modern offices and classrooms. Its dedicated third radio adds always-on
spectrum scanning and security monitoring without impacting client traffic. With OFDMA, 2x2 MU-MIMO, and
dual GbE ports for PoE diversity, it's a strong upgrade path from 802.11ac Wave 2 FortiAPs.
