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:

Pros

"The connectivity is good."

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

"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."

"The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."

"The setup process is very easy."

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

"The tool supports new technologies."

"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."

More D-Link Wireless pros

"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."

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

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

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

Cons

"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."

"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."

"The stability could be a bit better."

"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."

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

"The solution's performance could be improved."

"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"The stability could be improved."

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

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"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 better."

"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."

"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."

"There is no licensing fee for the solution."

"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."

"The product is affordable."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
