​​1. Introduction to FWF_60E_DSL-v6-build1142-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers critical updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 60E DSL series firewalls, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated xDSL connectivity alongside enterprise-grade security. Released under FortiOS v6 maintenance cycle, build 1142 resolves vulnerabilities disclosed in Q3 2024 while optimizing DSL line synchronization stability and threat prevention throughput up to 1.5Gbps.

Targeting hardware models deployed in remote offices with limited broadband options, this release enhances compatibility with G.992.5 (ADSL2+) and VDSL2 35b profile standards. Based on Fortinet’s firmware lifecycle patterns, this build aligns with FortiOS 6.4.9 security patches distributed in October 2024.
