Fortinet FortiGate FG-50G-DSL — VDSL2/ADSL2+ SD-WAN Next-Gen Firewall

The Fortinet FortiGate FG-50G-DSL is a compact next-generation firewall with a built-in VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem — the ideal all-in-one security gateway for small offices and branch sites on DSL internet. With FortiOS SD-WAN, application-aware security, and industry-leading threat intelligence, it delivers enterprise-grade protection at branch scale. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Note: FortiGuard security subscription is required to enable UTM and threat protection features.

Key Benefits

• Built-in VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem: Eliminates the need for a separate DSL modem — connect the phone line and get secure internet in one device
• FortiOS SD-WAN: Intelligent WAN path selection, application steering, and automatic failover for reliable branch connectivity
• Next-gen firewall: Deep packet inspection, IPS, application control, and web filtering on a purpose-built ASIC platform
• FortiGuard threat intelligence: Real-time security updates from Fortinet's global threat intelligence network (subscription required)
• Compact design: Desktop form factor — no rack required — ideal for small offices, retail sites, and home offices
• FortiOS integration: Seamlessly integrates with FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, and the broader Fortinet Security Fabric

Performance in Use

The FG-50G-DSL is purpose-built for branch and SOHO environments where a separate modem and router are impractical. The integrated ADSL2+/VDSL2 modem connects directly to the DSL line, while FortiOS manages security policy, SD-WAN, and VPN from a single unified interface. No additional hardware is needed between the phone line and the LAN — a genuine all-in-one solution.

FortiOS SD-WAN provides intelligent traffic steering across available WAN paths, ensuring business-critical applications receive priority bandwidth. When combined with FortiGuard subscriptions, the FG-50G-DSL delivers application control, URL filtering, antivirus, IPS, and DNS filtering — a full enterprise security stack in a compact unit.

For IT administrators managing distributed branch networks, the FG-50G-DSL integrates natively with FortiManager for centralised policy deployment and FortiAnalyzer for log aggregation and reporting — making branch security management scalable from one device to hundreds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require a FortiGuard subscription?

Basic firewall and VPN functions work without a subscription. UTM features including IPS, antivirus, URL filtering, and application control require an active FortiGuard licence. Subscriptions are purchased directly from Fortinet or an authorised reseller.

Is the device factory reset?

Yes. All units are factory reset to default FortiOS configuration before dispatch. You configure it fresh under your own account.

Does it work with NBN VDSL2?

Yes. The integrated modem supports VDSL2 (including NBN FTTN and FTTB connections) as well as ADSL2+ for older copper ADSL connections.

Can I manage it with FortiManager?

Yes. The FG-50G-DSL supports FortiManager central management and FortiAnalyzer logging — standard across all FortiGate models.

What is the warranty?

All Reboot IT products include a 12-month hardware warranty. If a hardware fault develops within 12 months, we repair or replace at no cost. This covers hardware only, not FortiGuard licences.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
