This is a how to guide for Fortinet Acces Points aka FortiAP's to form a wireless mesh connection to extend the wireless local area network (WLAN). In this scenario my FortiGate 80F is acting as the wireless controller using the built WLAN controller that comes in FortiOS. Every FortiGate has this functionality built in with no additional licensing costs to utilize this feature. My FortiAP models used are U433F and 831F. Mesh connections can be made between any model AP's, firmware just needs to be 5.0 or higher. If you need any assistance go ahead and throw a comment on this video!
