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.
