A tool that offers a good performance at a good price
Over a period of time, the technologies change, and users may not get the proper things. In general, there is a need to keep changing devices after a period of five years, especially considering that I operate in a university where we don't have closed offices, while the devices' performance level goes down in open spaces. Though in our institution, we tried to make some changes to the product, we know that nothing much is going to change. In our institution, we plan to have indoor and room-based APs, but even then, some of the rooms don't come in a dust-free environment, so there is a need for us to experiment with the product as the degrading of the devices and signals still keeps happening. In our institution, we are making some changes to adopt to an indoor-based system. For certain setups, D-Link Wireless works better and ensures that users get value for their money. If you know how to maintain a technology, then it can help you. I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.

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 product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The system simplifies network management."
"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 connectivity is good."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."

"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"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 support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"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."
"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."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
