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.

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

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"Cambium is more economical compared to Cisco or Ruckus, which makes it suitable for budget-conscious customers."
"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."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"The setup process is very easy."
"For small businesses, this is definitely a product that I recommend."
"The initial setup is super straightforward; you just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
 

Cons

"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"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."
"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."
"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."
"We've had issues with the 150MG and 300MB dongles. The 300MB works okay but the 150MB is not working well for us."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"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."
"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"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."
"In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"The product is affordable."
"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."
"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"The cost can range from $100 to $400."
"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."
"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
