Looking for Ekahau HeatMapper?
Ekahau HeatMapper was Ekahau's free Windows tool for mapping home and small office Wi-Fi. It is no longer on Ekahau's site: its old page now leads to Ekahau's paid heatmap products. WiFi Heatmapper covers the same ground for free, in any browser, with no install.
WiFi Heatmapper
Add a floor plan image or sketch the walls, click where you stand and type the signal strength your laptop shows. The heatmap fills in as you go. The predicted view lets you place your router and mesh points and drag them to compare positions before you move anything. Your plan and readings stay in your browser.
Make a heatmap now, free, or see what Pro adds.
