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

"The tool supports new technologies."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"Technical support is quite good. We also have a local team and engineers trained by D-Link."
"We have 200 to 250 users and the solution can scale without any problem."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The setup process is very easy."
"D-Link comes with a complete solution including wireless, switching, and static wiring."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that they do not need to complete a proof of concept."
 

Cons

"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"We've had issues with the 150MG and 300MB dongles. The 300MB works okay but the 150MB is not working well for us."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"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 support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"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."
"The security needs to be improved because we have had problems with people accessing our network using the VPN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."
"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"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 is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
"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."
