How it works

Three steps to total WiFi clarity

No networking degree required. HeatFi guides you through the whole process in under 10 minutes.

HeatFi floor plan Draw or import your plan
Step 01

Draw or upload your floor plan

Sketch your layout freehand inside the app, import an image of your blueprint, or snap a photo of a printed plan. HeatFi scales and aligns it automatically so you're ready to survey in seconds.

Step 02

Walk your home & collect measurements

HeatFi's guided route tells you exactly where to walk next. Move through each room and tap "Take Sample" — the app reads your device's WiFi signal strength in real time and pins each reading to the map.

Step 03

Get your heatmap — instantly

HeatFi interpolates your data and renders a colour-coded heatmap with per-room signal scores. Red is strong, blue is a dead zone. See exactly where to move your router, add a mesh node, or call your ISP.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about WiFi heatmaps, coverage problems, and how HeatFi works.

What is a WiFi heatmap?
A WiFi heatmap is a colour-coded map of wireless signal strength laid over your floor plan. Strong areas, weak areas, and dead zones become visible at a glance, so you can fix coverage with data instead of guesswork. Learn more →
How do I make a WiFi heatmap on iPhone or Android?
Install HeatFi (free), draw or import your floor plan, then walk each room tapping Take Sample. The app pins each live signal reading to your position and generates an interpolated heatmap with per-room scores in minutes. Learn more →
Why is my WiFi slow upstairs?
Floors attenuate WiFi more than interior walls — joists, insulation and concrete all absorb signal, and routers usually sit low. A two-floor heatmap survey shows whether you need to raise the router, switch bands, or add a mesh node at the top of the stairs. Learn more →
Where should I put my WiFi router?
Central, elevated, and away from metal and thick masonry — but every home is different. Surveying before and after moving the router shows exactly which position covers the rooms you actually use. Learn more →
Where should I place a WiFi extender?
At the edge of your router's strong coverage on the path toward the dead zone — not in the dead zone itself. A heatmap shows that edge precisely; the extender should still receive roughly -50 to -65 dBm from the router. Learn more →
How do I test WiFi signal strength in every room?
Measure signal (dBm), not speed tests: walk each room with a heatmap app taking samples where you actually use WiFi. -50 dBm or better is excellent; below -80 dBm is a dead zone. Learn more →
How many access points does my office need?
Roughly one AP per 100–150 m² of open space, more with solid walls — but construction dominates. A floor-plan walk survey of your actual building gives the true count before you buy hardware. Learn more →
Is HeatFi free? Does it need an account?
HeatFi is free to download on iOS and Android, works fully offline, requires no account, and your survey data never leaves your device. Download it →
