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

"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"If I implement Cambium, it has a lot of features, the main advantage is that Cambium provides a five-year warranty on all the devices and it can be managed from cloud cnMaestro, which is free of cost, therefore, it helps save an organization on costs."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"The system simplifies network management."
"The connectivity is good."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"The initial setup is super straightforward; you just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."
"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"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."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"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 for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"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."
"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
