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.

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."

"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"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."

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

"They should include more security features in the solution."

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

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

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

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

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

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"I pay monthly for the solution."
