Wi-Fi access point calculator
Estimate how many access points your premises need for reliable coverage and enough capacity for everyone connected.
How it’s calculated
The method, in plain terms.
We estimate two numbers and use the larger: coverage (about 2,500 sq ft per AP in open plan, 1,500 with cabins, 900 with heavy walls) and capacity (about 30 active devices per Wi-Fi 5 AP, 50 per Wi-Fi 6 and 60 per Wi-Fi 7).
- Ceiling-mounted, centrally managed APs give better roaming than consumer routers.
- Run a separate guest network.
- Each AP needs a cabled network point — PoE keeps installation tidy.
How many square feet does one Wi-Fi access point cover?
Roughly 1,500–2,500 sq ft in a typical office, less with brick or concrete walls. Device count often matters more than area.
Why is my office Wi-Fi slow even with full signal?
Too many devices per access point, interference or a consumer router doing the job of several APs. More managed APs spread the load.
Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 for an office?
Wi-Fi 6 is well proven and handles busy offices well; Wi-Fi 7 adds capacity where devices support it.
Do you do Wi-Fi site surveys?
Yes — we plan coverage, install managed access points and set up staff and guest networks.
