Featured Reviews

NadirShahzad - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gabriele-Pizzigati - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"Overall, I rate D-Link Wireless nine out of ten as a solution."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"The connectivity is good."
"Great management interface."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
