We have 19 brand new Fortinet FortiAP-241K access points that need to be fully configured, adopted, and integrated with our existing FortiGate firewall. We are looking for a certified and experienced Fortinet wireless engineer to do a complete enterprise-grade setup remotely.The APs are installed physically but not configured. We need someone to take them from factory default to fully production-ready.
Scope of Work - What you will do:
1. FortiGate Integration & Adoption:Connect and authorize all 19 FortiAP-241K to FortiGate via FortiLink / CAPWAP tunnelUpgrade FortiAP firmware to latest stable recommended version via FortiGateConfigure FortiLink interface and ensure CAPWAP connectivityVerify all APs are online and managed in FortiGate > WiFi & Switch Controller
2. Wireless Network Design & Configuration (for 19 APs):Design channel plan, TX power, and AP placement logic to avoid co-channel interference (2.4GHz and 5GHz)Configure Automatic Radio Resource Provisioning (WIDS, WTP profiles, Radio Profiles)Create 2-4 SSIDs based on our requirements:Corporate SSID (WPA3-Enterprise / WPA2-Enterprise with RADIUS or WPA2/3-PSK)Guest SSID (Captive Portal with Terms & Conditions, rate limiting & isolation)IoT / Staff SSID (VLAN tagged)Configure VLAN tagging for each SSID and integration with our existing VLANs/SwitchesConfigure SSID Security: Encryption, Protected Management Frames (802.11w), Fast Roaming (802.11k/v/r)
3. Security, Performance & Optimization:Configure FortiGate Wireless security: Rogue AP detection & suppressionOptimize band steering, airtime fairness, beamforming, MU-MIMOConfigure Client Load Balancing across 19 APsSet up QoS and bandwidth limits for Guest networkConfigure firewall policies for each SSID-VLAN to Internet/LAN
4. Management & Handover:Configure centralized monitoring, alerts for AP downProvide network diagram / floor plan mapping of APs with namesCreate backup of full FortiGate configProvide a final documentation / SOP for adding a new AP or SSID in future7-day post-configuration support for any disconnection issues
Deliverables to Mark Job as Complete:All 19 APs online (green) in FortiGate DashboardAll SSIDs broadcasting and clients able to connect with InternetOptimized radio channels with no major interferenceFirewall policies created and testedConfiguration backup + Documentation in PDF
