How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Home Sq Ft, Number of Floors, and Wall Type (drywall, plaster, brick, or concrete) to model signal attenuation.
- Input Number of Devices to ensure adequate bandwidth per device for your connected home.
- Review Access Points Needed to determine if a single router or a mesh system is required for full coverage.
- Check Coverage per AP (sq ft) to map access point placement for even signal distribution across floors.
- Review Mesh Recommended — if flagged, a mesh system will outperform a single router for your floor plan.
- Use Estimated Cost and Bandwidth per Device to select a Wi-Fi system tier (Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, or Wi-Fi 6E).
