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.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions
Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"D-Link comes with a complete solution including wireless, switching, and static wiring."
"The connectivity is good."
"We have 200 to 250 users and the solution can scale without any problem."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"Technical support is quite good. We also have a local team and engineers trained by D-Link."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based management option, as it is very convenient to manage and this product is easy to use."
"This product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"It has all the common solutions that all other solutions provide, but it is very effective, and its cost is 60% less than Ruckus."
 

Cons

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"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 releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"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 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."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"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."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"The quality of the hardware needs to be improved."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"It is quite difficult to get support from TP-Link. They should provide more support to their clients."

"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."

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

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
