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. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Regarding the Omada Access Points, apart from upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, I don't have any specific ideas for further improvement.
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.
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.

In terms of improvement, I would like Omada Access Points to be more versatile and adaptable across different industries. For example, it could be used in shopping malls to provide Wi-Fi and offer features like automatic notifications and shop promotions when you enter. It can help businesses by giving special deals to loyal customers, offering a modern way of shopping compared to the usual online methods.
I'm still testing their meshing capabilities. The indoor products are great, but I'm trying to see how well their outdoor meshing works. Their ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with. I'm at a point where I want to do almost a hundred-device order. So, I'm gonna try to reach out to Omada directly.
It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable. We're like to have more visibility in terms of who is connecting to the service. That would help us to monitor bandwidth more effectively.
Omada access points provide a business-class wireless network solution that’s flexible, manageable, secure, and easy-to-deploy. The free EAP Controller software allows users to manage hundreds of EAPs at multiple sites, all from a single location. The ability to control, adjust and visualize the entire network from any connected PC makes centralized business Wi-Fi management more efficient than ever before. Omada EAPs also feature captive portal and advanced RF management functions, which...
Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover. I am looking for an access point that can cover long distances.

There should be more remote support for the mobile application.
The technical support could be improved. The GUI is quite good, although there's still room for improvement in that regard.
TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.
The quality of the hardware needs to be improved.
