Featured Reviews

CristianRatoi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technology at THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MEDICINE
Reliable Wi-Fi has consistently supported our restaurant, hotel, conferences, and offices
All the features are the same for all of them. The main difference we realized is that Cisco works better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN, and it is obviously easier to manage as well. Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage.
NadirShahzad - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have excellent support."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"It provides strong coverage for outdoor areas."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good."
"The system simplifies network management."
"The connectivity is good."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"We have 200 to 250 users and the solution can scale without any problem."
"The setup process is very easy."
"D-Link comes with a complete solution including wireless, switching, and static wiring."
"The tool supports new technologies."
 

Cons

"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"Obviously, one of the reasons we're getting ready to upgrade the equipment is that it's five years old."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"I would rate the initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as seven out of ten. It's not easy to do some of the access point configurations sometimes, as the policy cannot be mapped easily, which is the reason for my rating."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"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."
"We've had issues with the 150MG and 300MB dongles. The 300MB works okay but the 150MB is not working well for us."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"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."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"The stability could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."
"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
"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."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"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."
"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"The product is affordable."
"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
