Warehouse Wi-Fi planning: racking, height and roaming

Last updated: October 4, 2026.

Warehouses have tall ceilings, metal racking and moving stock. Signal changes as shelves fill, so plan with margin and verify on site.

What matters in a warehouse

• Metal racking blocks and reflects signal, so model aisles as obstructions.
• Set the real mounting height; the planner accepts 2 to 15 m.
• Handheld scanners need continuous roaming coverage, so check the secondary-AP heatmap layer.

Settings to try in the planner

• Environment: High attenuation if racking is dense.
• Draw racks as Lift or heavy core (18 dB) or Concrete (10 dB) as a conservative assumption.
• Minimum RSSI: -67 dBm.
• Always confirm with an on-site survey.
