Wi-Fi Coverage Planner
Tell us about the space, not the boxes. We work out how many UniFi access points it really takes, where each one goes, and how to wire them back so the Wi-Fi is fast in every room. Then we confirm it with a survey on site.
1 · The space
Example homeAll the space you want covered, indoors. A guess to the nearest few hundred square feet is fine.
Each floor is its own coverage problem, so this matters as much as the area. Count a finished basement you use.
Radio passes easily through drywall and struggles with brick, plaster-and-lath, stone, concrete and foil-backed insulation. Dense walls mean more access points, closer together.
2 · How it gets used
Not just people. Phones, laptops, TVs, cameras, and a house full of smart-home gadgets all want airtime. Heavy load means more access points so no single one is swamped.
Wi-Fi outdoors needs its own outdoor-rated access points, not an indoor one shining through a window.
How we plan coverage
Coverage is about placement before count. One access point in the middle of a ceiling beats two in the wrong corners, so we plan at least one per level, high and central, away from metal, panels and the back of a TV.
Every access point gets a network cable back to a switch. Two wired access points almost always beat four wireless mesh nodes, because a wireless hop halves speed and fights your devices for airtime. Where a cable cannot reach, we fix that first.
What we confirm on site
- A real survey with a meter, room by room, floor by floor.
- Exact mounting spots and how the walls actually behave.
- Cable routes to each access point, and the switch to feed them.
- Channel and power tuning so devices roam without dropping.
- Whether one more access point removes a stubborn dead zone.

The kit we would place

Get it surveyed & quoted
This is a starting point from what you told us. Send it over and we will do a proper survey, place every access point on your floor plan, and quote it in writing.
A planning tool, not a final design. The number of access points and where they go are a starting point from the area, levels, construction and load you entered; real coverage is decided by a survey on site, because wall materials, layout, interference and where people actually use their devices all move the answer. Wi-Fi 7 access points are placed on 2.5G or faster switch ports and run on PoE over their network cable. Hardware and labour are quoted in writing before work starts.
