Access point count estimator

Get a sensible first-pass AP count without pretending that floor area alone is precise RF simulation.

Your inputs

Calculated result

Start with 2 APs

Using approximately 90 m² per indoor AP for mixed construction, start with 2 APs and verify placement on site.

Planning range

1–3 APs

Rule-of-thumb density

90 m² / AP

This is a planning estimate, not RF simulation. Placement, interference, ceiling height, transmit power, and building materials require on-site verification.

How to use this result

  • Concrete and masonry usually require denser AP placement than light interior walls.
  • One AP per floor is a useful minimum starting constraint.
  • Validate placement with an on-site survey and adjust transmit power after installation.
