Placement Guidelines
- • Mount APs on ceiling, 10-12 ft high when possible
- • Avoid placing near metal objects or HVAC
- • Stagger APs across floors for vertical coverage
- • Position APs in high-traffic areas first
- • Leave ~45 ft spacing between APs
- • Consider walls/obstructions in final placement

About This Calculator
This calculator provides estimates based on typical RF propagation characteristics and UniFi AP specifications. Actual coverage varies based on interference, building materials, and specific environmental conditions. For mission-critical deployments, we recommend a professional site survey with predictive modeling and post-installation validation.
