Introduction to FWF_60E_DSL-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out

This firmware release (build 1262) delivers critical security updates and DSL network optimizations for FortiWifi 60E-DSL appliances under FortiOS 7.2.3. Designed for distributed branch offices requiring integrated wireless and DSL connectivity, it resolves 15 CVEs listed in Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisories while enhancing WAN link redundancy capabilities.

Specifically engineered for FortiWifi 60E-DSL (FWF-60E-DSL) hardware, the firmware requires 4GB DDR3 RAM and 32GB eMMC storage. Released on March 18, 2025, it replaces the deprecated 7.2.2 branch with extended technical support through Q3 2027.
