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

"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."

"The initial setup process was easy."

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The connectivity is good."

"The setup process is very easy."

"The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."

More D-Link Wireless pros

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

Cons

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."

"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."

"The stability could be a bit better."

"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."

"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 support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."

"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)."

"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."

"The scalability could be better."

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
