Coverage area
Square footage, floors, wall density, ceiling height, outdoor zones, and dead-spot risk.
Wi-Fi Coverage & Access Point Planner
Planner Inputs
Use this as a planning number. Final placement should still be confirmed by signal testing, wall materials, ceiling height, cabling paths, and interference.
What It Checks
The planner turns rough building details into a more useful Wi-Fi conversation for small businesses and multi-room offices.
Square footage, floors, wall density, ceiling height, outdoor zones, and dead-spot risk.
Users, phones, tablets, scanners, POS systems, guest networks, meetings, and high-density areas.
Access point count, PoE switch sizing, cabling needs, and whether a heatmap or site survey should come first.
Wi-Fi Design Help
Good Wi-Fi is not only about buying a stronger router. Access point placement, cabling, PoE power, wall materials, device density, and guest network needs all affect the final design.
Estimate access points for offices, conference rooms, shared work areas, phone booths, training rooms, and client-facing spaces where reliable video calls matter.
Plan for scanners, tablets, inventory systems, cameras, forklifts, outdoor yards, and coverage challenges caused by racks, metal, and long cable paths.
Separate employee, guest, POS, and device networks while keeping patient rooms, dining areas, waiting rooms, and back-office spaces connected.
Keep visitors off the business network with proper guest Wi-Fi, VLAN planning, passwords, captive portal options, and secure network segmentation.
A planner can estimate access point count, but real buildings often need signal testing before hardware is installed. Dense walls, glass, concrete, warehouse shelving, neighboring networks, and high user density can all change the design.
NerdTeks can help confirm access point placement, expected coverage, roaming behavior, interference, and whether existing cabling can support the new Wi-Fi layout.
Most business Wi-Fi access points need data cabling back to a network closet and power from a PoE switch or injector. If the ceiling has no cabling, if APs are in the wrong spots, or if the switch does not have enough PoE budget, coverage can suffer even with good wireless hardware.
This planner helps start the conversation by estimating the AP count and flagging whether cabling is likely part of the project.
Use the planner above, then send the AP range and notes to NerdTeks for review.
