How Many Wi-Fi Access Points Do I Need?
Get a fast, free estimate of access points, PoE and switch ports for your building. It's based on the same rules of thumb our Cisco wireless engineers use for budgeting.
Your estimate
A budgetary estimate based on common design rules of thumb, not a substitute for a survey. Walls, layout and interference all change the final count.

Access Points by Floor
These figures are an estimate based on the information supplied. A predictive survey is needed to confirm the AP quantity for each floor. Learn about our Wi-Fi surveys and RF design.

PoE draw depends on the access point model selected, so this is an estimate only. Typical access points draw between 30 W and 60 W each.

Already Have Wi-Fi That Isn't Performing?
More access points won't always fix it. Dropouts, poor roaming and slow speeds usually come from RF, client or configuration problems.
Wi-Fi Assurance Review
We test your whole wireless environment, covering RF conditions, client roaming and controller configuration, to find out why it's underperforming. We typically find 6–8 root-cause issues per site.
- Wi-Fi diagnostic survey: onsite RF measurements with heatmaps across six key metrics
- End-client debug: real roaming events captured from your own devices
- Configuration review: your settings checked against Cisco and industry best practice
You get a plain-English report with a traffic-light summary and prioritised fixes. We can also stage the remediation, with change control, rollback plans and user acceptance testing.

RF Tuning: Getting the Most From Your Wi-Fi
How channel and transmit power tuning cuts interference and improves roaming, often without adding a single access point.
