## About
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.

## How to use
1. Enter your values in the fields above.
2. The result updates automatically as you type.
3. Copy or note the figures you need.

## FAQ
**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, with no sign-up or limits.
