About this tool
Enter your home's floor area, number of floors, wall construction and how many devices and users you have. The planner estimates how many access points or mesh nodes you are likely to need and the internet speed to aim for, and suggests where to place them. Real coverage depends on the router, layout and interference, so this is a planning estimate, not a guarantee.
Wi-Fi Router Coverage Planner is part of ToolStack Hub's Calculators. It runs entirely in your browser, which keeps your data private and makes results instant. There is nothing to install, no account to create and no usage limit.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a mesh system?
If one router in a central spot leaves weak signal in rooms you use, a mesh system (several nodes working as one network) is the easiest fix. Solid walls and multiple floors make it more likely.
What is wired backhaul?
Connecting mesh nodes together with Ethernet cable instead of wirelessly. It gives faster, more stable Wi-Fi in every room.
Is the Wi-Fi Router Coverage Planner free?
Yes. Wi-Fi Router Coverage Planner is completely free with no sign-up, limits or watermarks.
Is my data private when I use the Wi-Fi Router Coverage Planner?
