Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done.""The simplicity is great.""The solution is stable."

"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 solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""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.""This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""The initial setup process was easy.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The price could be better.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted.""The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network.""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.""The stability could be a bit better.""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 solution's performance could be improved.""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."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds.""The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
