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.
Prasad Wijesooriya - PeerSpot reviewer
Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability
The problem is that when the number of users increases, TP-Link automatically drops the speed, and in terms of coverage, it falls short. We are not using any industrial-level equipment or accuracy. We are looking for something at the industrial level, advanced Access Points, not the basic ones from TP-Link. Omada Access Points could be improved in terms of connectivity and speed. That is the main thing. The other thing is security. Currently, most people are sharing their passwords, allowing unauthorized users to access Wi-Fi networks. So, the main areas for improvement are security, accessibility, and speed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The connectivity is good."
"The product's initial setup phase is 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."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
 

Cons

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"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."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"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."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."
"The technical support could be improved."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."

"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"The cost can range from $100 to $400."

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
