Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

Unified management of devices ensures a consistent network configuration
I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable. I appreciate that it has a controller instead of just a single access point, similar to how Ruckus operates. I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches. I also have cameras integrated, so I have everything managed through the system. I have seen benefits from utilizing Ubiquiti WLAN as it's a stable solution. I also see scalability as a positive factor for Ubiquiti WLAN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"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 handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment, and the device in itself is solid with all the functionality that I need."
 

Cons

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"Technical support could be better."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
