About

Mesh Mapper

Features
Read full description

Mesh Mapper helps you understand home Wi-Fi coverage the way a field survey tool would, without extra hardware. Create a survey from a floor plan photo, a blank grid, or a LiDAR RoomPlan scan. Then walk around your home and tap where you are standing to measure what your Wi-Fi actually delivers at each spot. Mesh Mapper turns those measurements into clear coverage heat maps and practical placement advice: - Score, router latency, internet latency, and throughput maps - Mesh node labels based on the Wi-Fi access point serving each sample - Multi-floor surveys with 3D house visualization - LiDAR floor plan scanning on supported devices - Placement advisor for weak spots and suggested node moves - Shareable PNG reports for comparing layouts iOS does not expose raw Wi-Fi signal strength to third-party apps, so Mesh Mapper focuses on real-world network behavior: router response time, internet latency, download throughput, and serving-node identity. That makes it useful for finding dead zones, diagnosing sticky roaming, and deciding where a mesh router or satellite should move next. Mesh Mapper stores surveys locally on your device and does not require an account.
