Result explained

The simulator combines your inputs into a practical score, primary estimate, warning level and 2-3 action tips. Green means the scenario is broadly comfortable, amber means watch the assumptions, and red means there is a meaningful risk to review before acting.

Formula / assumptions

This is an estimate, not a guarantee. The formulas use practical India-focused defaults, common safe limits, and simple penalty factors for load, heat, speed, EMI pressure, signal loss or affordability strain depending on the tool.

FAQs

Where should I place my router?

A central, raised, open location usually works best. Avoid cabinets, corners and thick walls near the router.

Is 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz better?

2.4 GHz travels farther through walls. 5 GHz is faster nearby but loses strength faster with distance and walls.

How do walls affect WiFi?

Each wall reduces signal. Concrete, brick, metal and mirrors usually cause bigger drops than wood or drywall.

Do more devices reduce WiFi speed?

Yes. More active devices share airtime and can reduce usable speed, especially on basic routers.

What is a WiFi dead zone?

A dead zone is an area where signal strength or usable speed is too low for reliable browsing, video calls or streaming.
