How Many Access Points Does a Hotel Need? Capacity and Placement
The AP count in a hotel is set by wall construction, corridor shape, devices per room at the busy hour and seat counts in public areas, not by floor area. A method you can recompute, with every model figure from our own product pages.

How to Run a WiFi Site Survey Before You Install Access Points
A WiFi site survey is not a heat map. It has to answer three questions: where the radio has to sit, how many clients each cell carries at the busy hour, and what is already in the air fighting you. A walk-test method, pass thresholds and a handover list, with model figures from our own product pages.

How Far Does an Outdoor AP Reach? Outdoor Coverage Planning
Range is not a figure on a datasheet, it is the output of a link budget where the phone has to talk back. A planning method for yards, campuses and seating bowls, with every model figure taken from our own product pages.

Warehouse WiFi Coverage: Planning APs Around High Racking
Warehouse WiFi is not the office plan scaled up. Racking blocks the next aisle, ceilings sit at eight metres, and scanners live at waist height. Plan per aisle, not per square metre, with every model figure taken from our own product pages.

How Many Access Points Does a High-Density Room Need?
A room can show full bars and still fail at 09:00, because capacity is a different budget from coverage. Here is the two-line estimate — seats per cell and active clients per radio — and why the switch port behind the access point usually runs out before the radio does.

How Many Access Points Does a School Need? Corridor or Per-Room
A school network that passes an empty-building survey can still stall at 09:00, because classrooms are sized by concurrent devices rather than by coverage. Here is how to choose between corridor units and one unit per classroom, with the arithmetic and the acceptance targets.

How Many Access Points Does an Office Floor Need?
One office floor usually fails in three different ways at once: the open desk area is covered but slow, the glass meeting room stalls the moment a call starts, and the private offices behind the fire door have no signal at all. Each of those zones is decided by a different number, and this is how to size all three.

802.11ax Access Points: What AX1500, AX1800 and AX3000 Change on a Floor
The AX figure on an access point is both radios added together, not what one laptop gets. The ladder from 1500 to 3000 moves antenna chains, the uplink port and the PoE class — and this is how to read those columns before you order.

Why Do Wi-Fi Clients Refuse to Roam? 802.11k, 802.11v and 802.11r Explained
Roaming is decided by the client, not the access point. This is what 802.11k, 802.11v and 802.11r each add, how much cell overlap a floor actually needs, and why a phone sitting under a second AP still stays on the far one.

Throughput Below Spec: Which Layer Is At Fault

Unstable Bridge Links and Stuttering CCTV
Full signal bars do not mean a usable link. Bridge faults come down to Fresnel clearance, co-channel interference, alignment drift and insufficient rain margin.
