1. Introduction to FWF_60F-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out

This firmware update package provides critical security hardening and wireless performance enhancements for the ​​FortiWifi 60F​​ series, a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)-enabled next-generation firewall designed for small-to-medium business networks. As part of FortiOS 7.2.3 feature release (build 1262), it resolves 9 documented vulnerabilities while improving threat prevention accuracy by 28% compared to previous versions.

Optimized for environments requiring concurrent dual-band operations with ≤50 wireless clients, this update introduces OFDMA technology for high-density deployments. Compatible exclusively with hardware serial numbers beginning with ​​FWF60F​​, it requires 4GB DDR4 RAM and 32GB internal storage to maintain UTM security services for 1Gbps network throughput.

2. Key Features and Improvements
