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 system simplifies network management."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The setup process is very easy."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"The management features are valuable."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
