Introduction to FWF_61F-v6-build1914-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers critical security and wireless network optimization updates for FortiWifi 61F series unified threat management devices. Designed for distributed branch offices requiring integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and SD-WAN capabilities, build1914 addresses 9 CVEs disclosed in Q1 2025 while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations from v6.4.6+ releases.

The update specifically targets retail and remote work environments requiring PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance, where dual-band wireless security inspection must operate below 15μs latency. Compatible with 61F hardware manufactured after Q3 2024, it preserves existing VPN tunnel configurations during upgrades from v6.4.9+ firmware.
