How Many Wi-Fi Access Points Does My Space Need?

An estimate based on size and number of people.

Talk to ARX
The short answer

The number depends on two calculations: the area that must be covered, taking walls into account, and the number of people connected at the same time. Use the larger of the two.

Estimate

…

This is an order of magnitude. The position of each access point, which is what matters most, can only be defined by looking at the floor plan and measuring on site.

Questions and answers

Are more Wi-Fi access points always better?

No. Too many access points, or ones that are too powerful, interfere with each other and make the connection worse. What works is the right number, in the right position.

Why does my Wi-Fi show full signal and still freeze?

A strong signal doesn't mean a good connection. Many people in the same spot, interference from neighboring networks and poorly chosen channels bring speed down even with the signal at maximum.

Does a repeater solve it?

At home, it sometimes helps. In a business, it usually makes things worse: the repeater splits the speed and causes network switches in the middle of a call. The right approach is to have access points connected by cable.
