CoverageKit vs SignalMap WiFi

CoverageKit helps you understand and optimize your home WiFi network by tracking which access point is actually serving your device as you move around. DISCOVER THE PROBLEM Ever notice your WiFi drops or slows down in certain spots? Often it's because multiple access points (your router and mesh nodes) are competing for your device, causing constant handoffs. WiFi Rangefinder makes this invisible problem visible. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan your network to discover all routers and mesh nodes 2. Mark your access points so the app knows what to track 3. Walk through your house while the app monitors which AP is serving you 4. View a coverage map showing exactly where each AP takes over KEY FEATURES - Network Scanner Automatically discover all devices on your local network. Identify routers, mesh nodes, and extenders. - Real-Time AP Tracking See which access point is currently serving your device, with estimated signal strength and latency. - Coverage Mapping Walk through your home and generate a map showing which AP covers which areas. - Handoff Detection Get notified every time your device switches between access points. Find the spots where APs are fighting. - Competing AP Analysis Identify which access points have overlapping coverage and are causing connection issues. - Signal Strength Estimation Monitor your connection quality with latency-based signal estimates and dBm readings. - Scan History Save and review past scans to track improvements after adjusting your network. PERFECT FOR - Mesh network users (Eero, Orbi, Velop, Google WiFi, etc.) - Anyone with WiFi dead zones - Network enthusiasts who want to optimize coverage - Troubleshooting slow or dropping connections PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Delete the app and everything goes with it. NOTE: Signal strength readings are estimates based on network latency, not actual radio measurements (iOS doesn't expose RSSI to apps). Results provide helpful guidance for optimizing your network. Requires location permission to map coverage as you walk.

SignalMap turns a walk around your home into a clear Wi-Fi signal heatmap. Scan your room layout, collect real local-network measurements, and see where coverage is strong, weak, or unstable. SignalMap works on LiDAR devices for richer room geometry and also supports regular camera scanning on non-LiDAR iPhones and iPads. What you can do: • Build a 2D Wi-Fi heatmap from real gateway latency, jitter, packet loss and score samples • Scan floor plans with LiDAR when available, or use the camera fallback on supported devices • See weak rooms, dead zones and places where a mesh node may help • Detect multiple Wi-Fi nodes and visualize each node's territory • Check Mesh roaming quality, handoff drops and sticky-device behavior • Explore a 3D signal view and export clean PDF reports with Pro • Keep scan history on device for repeated home network checks SignalMap is designed for homes, apartments, studios, offices and small spaces where router placement matters. Walk slowly through each room, keep lighting good for camera scans, then use the map to decide where to move your router, add a mesh node, or re-test after changes. Privacy first: scans stay on device. SignalMap does not track you and does not upload your floor plan or network measurements. Terms of Use: https://hilalum.github.io/terms/signalmap/
