Wi-Fi Coverage Estimator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Effective coverage = base coverage x (1 - wall loss). APs = ceiling(area / effective coverage x floor count x buffer factor).

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Coverage Area: 6,000 sq ft
  • Base Coverage per AP: 1,500 sq ft
  • Wall Loss: 25%
  • Floors: 1
  • Capacity Buffer: 15%

Expected outputs

  • Estimated APs Needed: 7
  • Effective Coverage per AP: 1,125 sq ft
  • Base AP Count: 5.33

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • Inputs are user-entered because pricing, deadlines, policies, and technical limits vary.
  • Calculations run locally in your browser and do not store passwords, incidents, network designs, or security program data.
  • This is planning math, not security assurance, legal advice, or a substitute for testing.

Unit handling

  • Coverage Area accepts values in sq ft.
  • Base Coverage per AP accepts values in sq ft.
  • Wall Loss accepts values in %.
  • Floors accepts numeric values.
  • Capacity Buffer accepts values in %.
  • Effective Coverage per AP is displayed in sq ft.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
