How to Measure Wall Attenuation For Spotless Wi-Fi Network Designs

Learn how to accurately measure wall attenuation in this video.

Wall attenuation is the absorption of radio frequency signals by wall materials. The higher the attenuation, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal after it passes through the wall. Drywall typically reduces the signal strength by 3dB. Large concrete pillars can stop a Wi-Fi signal in its tracks! Understanding the different materials in your environment and their attenuation values is key for designing a great wireless network.

Pre-Design Surveys capture vital details, like wall attenuation, that we then feed into Ekahau design software. Without performing a site visit, you are designing your wireless network by guesswork; this will probably lead to countless changes, design updates, unexpected issues, and underperforming Wi-Fi networks. This high-risk design process can potentially cost you way more money in the long run versus budgeting for a relatively quick site visit.
