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.

Customers are increasingly focusing on seamless roaming between Dell Ruckus access points. They want to know how quickly and reliably their devices can switch connections as they move around, minimizing downtime and disruptions. Specifically, they are interested in the frequency and aggressiveness of roaming protocols, ensuring smooth transitions without disconnecting from the network. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The initial setup is super straightforward; you just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
"The connectivity is good."
"Technical support is quite good. We also have a local team and engineers trained by D-Link."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that they do not need to complete a proof of concept."
 

Cons

"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"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."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"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 only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"The solution has been mostly stable; it sometimes fluctuates, however, largely, it is good."
"The security needs to be improved because we have had problems with people accessing our network using the VPN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
"The product is affordable."
"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"The cost can range from $100 to $400."
"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
