I am going to build a complex wifi network in a large building, so I am looking for a kind of software, which can:

  • Plan APs positions on a map (ex: floor map)
  • Draw AP's theoretical coverage (including such factors as walls is a plus)
  • Trial,Demo version or even Free

I am not looking for a tool, which will draw coverage of already placed APs, I need to plan AP's positions before mounting them.

Happy New Year!

You should take a closer look at the tools from ekahau.
Especially ekahau Site Survey & ekahau HeatMapper.

WiTuners does exactly what you are looking for. It's free if your deployment is not very large.

RSOFT Design Group has a product called MetroWand that might be the ticket.

The only time I've seen anything remotely similar is when a client got an external company in to do a proper analysis for a WiFi deployment in a large warehouse. They had proper equipment, graphs, power levels and so on. I'm afraid I'm not sure whether they used an actual piece of software or just took the floor plan, power levels etc and planned it all using pen and paper.

Other suggestion would be to rig up some test equipment - WiSpy might help - and try and work out what channels, placement etc would be best from that
