Hotel Wi-Fi planning: reaching every guest room

Last updated: October 4, 2026.

Hotels are hard because guest rooms sit behind concrete or masonry walls. Corridor access points alone often leave weak signal inside rooms.

What matters in a hotel

• Model every room wall as concrete or brick, not drywall.
• Compare corridor placement with in-room or wall-plate access points.
• Lobbies and meeting spaces need capacity, not only coverage.

Settings to try in the planner

• Environment: High attenuation.
• Draw room walls as Concrete (10 dB) or Brick (6 dB).
• Minimum RSSI: -67 dBm for general guest use.
• Mounting height: match your ceiling, typically 2.7 m.
