WiFi Distance Estimator

A web-based tool that estimates the distance between you and a WiFi access point using signal frequency and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) values.

Features

• Calculate distance based on WiFi signal parameters
• Support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands
• Real-time input validation
• Responsive design that works on all devices
• Clean and modern user interface
• Instant results with detailed visualization

How It Works

The tool uses the following formula to estimate distance:

distance = 10 ^ ((27.55 - (20 * log10(frequency)) + |RSSI|) / 20.0)

Where:

• frequency is in MHz (2400-6000 MHz)
• RSSI is in dBm (-100 to 0 dBm)
• resulting distance is in meters

Usage

1. Enter the WiFi frequency in MHz

   • For 2.4 GHz networks: typically 2400-2500 MHz
   • For 5 GHz networks: typically 5000-5900 MHz

2. Enter the RSSI value in dBm

   • Typical range: -30 dBm (very strong) to -90 dBm (very weak)
   • You can find this value in your device's WiFi settings or using a network analyzer app

3. Click "Calculate Distance" to see the results
