Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.

Deployment meets needs with simple setup while improving customer support
We have deployed FortiGate 200F and 600E firewalls. The 600E was installed four years ago and is still running, and we deployed another 200F last year. We are continually adding base stations and wireless APs across our company network. For new users, there is a learning curve regarding installation, IP configuration, and technical issues. Since we have been using it since 2018, troubleshooting is not difficult for us. We have a server on premises that controls all the APs across our company. We have approximately 400 to 500 WiFi users across our company. We are not currently considering a different solution as it would require extra investment, which would cost too much for us now. I would rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten. Overall review rating: 5/10
