Introduction to FWF_60CX_A-v5-build0766-FORTINET-5.2.15.out

This enterprise-grade wireless firmware update enhances operational reliability for Fortinet’s 60CX Series Wi-Fi 6 access points, specifically engineered for high-density environments. Released under FortiCare Support ID FWF-2025-0766 on March 2025, build 0766 introduces critical security patches while optimizing radio resource management for campus networks and IoT deployments.

The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiGate 100F/200F controllers running FortiOS 6.4.9+ and supports simultaneous operation with FortiAP 431F/433F mesh nodes. Validated for 60CX-A hardware revisions 2.3+, this update implements automatic channel optimization algorithms with zero packet loss during failover events.
