D-Link Wireless Reviews

We have deployed two to three wireless projects using D-Link Wireless Controller. It was a good experience, and the system is currently operational. We deployed it about a year ago with no issues reported since.

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.

We use the solution to connect to the same network through different devices. It is a Unified Wireless solution. D-Link provides it through its DAP series. We use the models DAP-1360 and DAP-2680.

The solution provides wireless access to our resources. It had a huge impact. Since it is a unified network, we can access the resources whenever we connect to the network.

My company uses D-Link Wireless for small offices and small rooms, like security offices and other such tiny rooms where connectivity can be a challenge.

From the use of the product, my institution gets value from the product for the money we paid for it. D-Link Wireless performs well, and you get it at a better cost compared to the products featured in Gartner Quadrant, where products offering the same level of performance as D-Link are included. I don't know why D-Link has not been able to come up in the market.

I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna.

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. 

Our organization uses D-Link Wireless for the switches, access points, and structured cabling, which is fiber and Cat6.

Feature-wise, one thing I find valuable in the solution is that a controller manages it centrally. I've been able to integrate with VLANS and also with multiple SSIDs. Also, the coverage is very good.

We primarily use it for our customers, which include schools and special institutions.

In one instance, we handled a university that had multiple touchpoints and a central location broadcasting out. They now have small D-Link wireless access points in both 2.4GB and 5GB. The 5GB is like a backup. The university connects to the 5GB and uses the 2.4GB to advertise to the client. That's just one use case scenario.

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

We used it in warehouses, offices, and some open fields like stadiums.

The system simplifies network management. Because network management is how a network administrator has planned or designed the network. It starts from there. 

So, regarding our network management, when you plan your network into VLANs and have a VLAN for wireless, you'll monitor those subnetworks, and they'll be used for whatever work they were created for. 

If it's a wireless VLAN, you can put restrictions on it or implement security. You can implement security on that VLAN, and it will affect only the wireless users.

We use the solution for switches and wifi routers for the computers in our branches.

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