Physics-based wall attenuation beats Ekahau's price tag for small deployments.

Strengths
  • •Browser-based with no installation—import floorplans and start planning immediately.
  • •Real-time channel assignment prevents interference between access points automatically.
  • •Open-source alternative to expensive enterprise tools like Ekahau and NetSpot.
Weaknesses
  • •Limited AP model library compared to paid tools with vendor-specific radiation patterns.
  • •Optimizer effectiveness unproven—no benchmarks against real-world signal measurements.
Target Audience

Network engineers, IT admins, home lab enthusiasts setting up WiFi
