Goodbye to Bad Wi-Fi Coverage: An App to Measure the Best Wi-Fi Spot in Your Home Using Augmented Reality

We often forget that our homes are full of invisible Wi-Fi signals that enable us to carry out our online activities. But what if we could monitor them and see how they interact with our environment? What if we could find the best locations to receive Wi-Fi signals? Thanks to augmented reality, there are apps that allow us to do just that. In this article, we will explore some of these apps available on Google Play Store and the App Store.

WiFi AR is an app that allows you to visualize your Wi-Fi network or cellular network in augmented reality mode. You can use it to find the best spot with a strong Wi-Fi signal in your home, check connection speed and connection test value, and discover overlapping networks.

Once launched, you will be taken to a screen where you can choose whether you want to visualize Wi-Fi or 4G. For example, if you choose Wi-Fi,

You will need to walk around your home a bit and the app will give you accurate readings of the Wi-Fi signal in every corner of your home. At the bottom of the screen, you will see options for more specific visualization. For example, Ping will help you find the best spots in your home where the Ping is the lowest, for uninterrupted online gaming.

The app displays colorful cards floating in the air, indicating dBm values, which are Wi-Fi signal power levels at each specific location. This visual representation allows users to identify areas with strong or weak Wi-Fi coverage.

With this information, users can determine where to connect their devices for optimal signal strength. Additionally, the need for installing repeaters to expand coverage in areas with weak spots is evaluated.
