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."
"For small businesses, this is definitely a product that I recommend."
"D-Link comes with a complete solution including wireless, switching, and static wiring."
"This is an affordable product that offers good performance, which is why it is popular with our customers, and it offers good speed and bandwidth."
"The connectivity is good."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"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 performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"We've had issues with the 150MG and 300MB dongles. The 300MB works okay but the 150MB is not working well for us."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"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."
"The solution has been mostly stable; it sometimes fluctuates, however, largely, it is good."
"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."
"We have not been satisfied with the performance of TP-Link Auranet EAP."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"The quality of the hardware needs to be improved."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"It is quite difficult to get support from TP-Link. They should provide more support to their clients."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."

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

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
