"They need to enhance stability.""In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches.""Its security features need improvement.""This solution is not good for distribution at the core.""The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network.""The technical support needs a lot of improvement."
