How to use this tool
Enter total floor area, storeys, main wall material and whether the nodes can use wired Ethernet backhaul.

All defaults are editable planning assumptions. Use actual product specifications and site conditions where possible.
How the estimate works
The range uses approximately 150–200 m² per node for timber/plasterboard, reduced for brick or concrete/metal. Extra storeys and wireless backhaul increase the upper estimate. Layout and interference still need a site check.
Where product limits or site conditions matter, confirm them against the exact model and installation before buying.
Understanding your result
The range is a starting pack size for the floor area and construction entered. A long floor plan, an end-of-house router or heavy walls can need another access point; Ethernet backhaul improves placement flexibility and avoids a wireless relay bottleneck.
Choosing the right equipment
Start with the smaller suitable pack and test signal in the rooms that matter. Put nodes in open positions rather than cupboards, and use a wired link where practical. Check the specific system’s coverage, ports and Wi-Fi standard before adding nodes.
