How it is calculated
Coverage = floor area / area one AP covers well (70 to 200 sq m depending on walls) x floors. Capacity = devices / 30 per AP. The answer is the larger of the two. A Wi-Fi site survey gives the exact placement.
Results are estimates for planning. Real systems depend on site conditions; Qyvea surveys and quotes before installation.
Tips from our installers
- Hotels usually need an AP every 2 to 3 rooms, or one per room in concrete buildings.
- Use a managed switch with PoE and a business router.
- Separate guest Wi-Fi from your office network.
Frequently asked questions
Is one strong router enough for an office?
For a small open space yes, but several access points give steadier coverage than one strong router.
How many devices per access point?
Around 25 to 30 active devices is a safe design number.
Do I need cables to each AP?
Yes, wiring each AP gives the best speed; mesh is a fallback.
