Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 2, 2025

Huawei Wireless and D-Link Wireless are major competitors in the wireless market. Huawei Wireless offers superior features and performance, but D-Link Wireless offers more affordability for small and medium enterprises.

Features: Huawei Wireless provides high performance with WiFi 6, robust speed and coverage, and a user-friendly setup. Its technical support also contributes significantly to its value. D-Link Wireless features a centralized controller for effective signal connectivity, supports new technologies such as 5G, and its signal range is commendable, making it ideal for SMBs.

Room for Improvement: Huawei Wireless could enhance its service for SMBs by improving cloud management and integration with third-party tools as well as speeding up technical support responses. D-Link Wireless should focus on improving stability and performance, augmenting its cloud management solutions, and adding advanced features to compete with larger OEMs like Cisco.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both solutions offer easy installation with on-premises deployment. Huawei Wireless is noted for its simplicity and reliable customer service, though response times need improvement. D-Link Wireless also allows for hassle-free setup, but improvements in technical support and quicker responses could elevate customer satisfaction.

Pricing and ROI: Huawei Wireless offers aggressive pricing and good ROI, particularly beneficial for large enterprises, though less so for SMBs due to cost. D-Link Wireless provides competitive pricing with affordable upfront costs and no ongoing fees, appealing to SMBs seeking value for money. Both solutions are effective within their target markets for delivering a favorable ROI.

Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing

D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

Affordable platform with efficient analytics features

Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"The setup process is very easy."

"The tool supports new technologies."

"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Overall, I rate D-Link Wireless nine out of ten as a solution."

"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."

More D-Link Wireless pros

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."

"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."

"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."

"The solution's performance could be improved."

"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."

"The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
