Connecting to the FortiWiFi Unit
The FortiWiFi unit requires some basic configuration to add it to your
network. These basic steps include assigning IP addresses, DNS
settings, and the default gateway. Until these steps are completed
traffic will not flow through the device.
In addition to FortiExplorer, the FortiWiFi unit can be configured using
the Web-based Manager or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Settings > Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiWiFi unit’s Web-based Manager, start a browser
of your choice and browse to https://192.168.1.99 (remember to
include the “s” in https://).

select Login.
You can now proceed with configuring your FortiWiFi unit.
