231G at a Glance
Wireless Performance
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) tri-radio design covering 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6
GHz. Up to 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio, 1.2 Gbps on 5 GHz, and
2.4 Gbps on the 6 GHz radio. OFDMA and 24/7 dedicated security scanning included.
Radios & Streams
2x2 MU-MIMO across all three
radios. Flexible modes: simultaneous 2.4/5/6 GHz client access, or dual 5 GHz plus full-time RF scanning. Integrated BLE/ZigBee radio for beacons and locationing.
Power & Connectivity
802.3at PoE+ required for full tri-radio operation. 2.5GbE LAN1/PoE port plus a secondary 1GbE LAN2 port for Ethernet diversity or wired uplinks.
Management & Deployment

FortiLAN Cloud. Internal antennas, ceiling/wall mount kit included. Indoor-rated for offices, retail, and classrooms.
Not sure the 231G is the right fit?
Compare Wi-Fi standards, radio counts, and PoE requirements across the full FortiAP lineup to find the
access point that matches your deployment.
The FortiAP 231G is a Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) access point with tri-radio support across
the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and new 6 GHz bands, giving it extra clean spectrum compared to standard Wi-Fi 6
APs.
The 231G requires 802.3at (PoE+) to power all three radios simultaneously. A standard
802.3af switch port may run the AP in a reduced-radio mode.
Yes. The 231G is managed centrally by the integrated wireless controller on any
FortiGate, or through the cloud-based FortiLAN Cloud portal for sites without an on-site FortiGate.
It includes a 2.5GbE LAN1/PoE port to keep pace with 6 GHz throughput, plus a
secondary 1GbE LAN2 port that can be used for Ethernet port diversity or a wired downstream device.
The 231G is designed for indoor deployments such as offices, classrooms, and retail
spaces that want to get ahead of 6 GHz device adoption without a major cabling upgrade.
