Power & link budget
Work through transmit power, antenna gain, cable loss and estimated receive level.
Calculate RF link budgets, SSID beacon overhead and PoE demand. Look up MCS rates, compare antenna connectors and explore radiation-pattern references.
Free to use. No account. No subscription.
Use the toolbox for quick engineering work: test an assumption, compare a setting, or look up a connector detail before the next conversation or site visit.
Clear inputs and useful results, without a setup process.
Built for wireless engineers, installers and anyone planning the physical network.
Open a tool directly, save the link, and come back whenever you need it.
Each tool opens in the standalone toolbox. Use the direct links below to start exactly where you need to.
Work through transmit power, antenna gain, cable loss and estimated receive level.
Estimate beacon airtime as SSID counts, radio counts and basic rates change.
Look up theoretical PHY rates by Wi‑Fi mode, channel width, spatial streams and MCS.
Estimate device demand against a switch budget and keep suitable installation headroom.
Shortlist antennas by connector type and count, then confirm the physical connection match.
Yes. All five standalone tools are free to use in your browser without an account or subscription. Wi-Fi Studio provides a separate project workflow for design, survey and reporting.
The calculators provide engineering references based on your inputs. MCS values are PHY rates, not speed-test results. Validate RF and power assumptions against equipment specifications, site conditions and measured performance.
The guide compares connector style and count. Confirm the exact AP and antenna, supported frequencies, radio-to-port mapping and manufacturer requirements. Radiation-pattern references are available for some models; the library does not cover every antenna.
Studio brings your project work together when you need a connected place to inspect, design, survey and report.
