Walk the important rooms
Tech Genie records signal at labeled spots like router area, hallway, office, bedroom, garage, conference room, front desk, or the weak room.
Home Wi‑Fi coverage check · Los Angeles
Find weak Wi-Fi spots before buying another extender.
We measure the signal where you use it: your desk, bedroom, TV or back room. The map shows where coverage drops and helps you decide whether to move equipment or add a connection.
Coverage checks start around $175+. Larger properties, multiple buildings, wiring, mounted access points, and a separate validation visit are quoted before that work starts.

Place gear smarter
On-site measurements show usable, weak, and unmeasured areas so equipment placement is based on evidence.
Why it helps
See where the connection falls short.
A speed test beside the router won’t explain why calls drop at your desk. We take readings at labeled spots around the property so you can compare coverage. Rooms we haven’t measured are marked as unmeasured.
Shows strong, weak, poor, and not-measured Wi‑Fi spots visually
Helps avoid putting mesh/extenders inside the dead zone
Supports wireless site survey notes before access point or wiring quotes
Compares before/after readings after moving hardware or adding access points
Leaves the customer with a clear report instead of an unexplained speed test
What you get
Find weak zones
The report marks usable, weak, poor, and unmeasured areas. Missing readings are never presented as artificial -100 dBm results.
Place hardware smarter
Mesh nodes, extenders, and access points work best when the site survey shows where strong signal stops and weak coverage begins.
Leave a clear report
You get a local visual report, data table, recommendations, and an optional before/after comparison.
Privacy-focused field survey
Wi‑Fi coverage details without collecting personal content.
The survey records only the signal and location details needed to create your coverage report. It does not collect passwords, browsing history, or personal files.
No Wi‑Fi credentials collected
No GPS/location tracking
No personal files or browser history
No repairs or settings changes unless approved
Coverage-check deliverables
Measure, explain, recommend, and verify.
Use the readings to compare options: move a mesh node, add a wired access point or check the incoming internet connection before changing your Wi-Fi equipment.
- An annotated coverage map tied to labeled rooms or measurement spots
- A reading table that separates measured, weak, poor, and unmeasured areas
- Placement guidance for the router, mesh nodes, extenders, or access points
- Vendor-neutral options: reposition, reuse, add hardware, wire an access point, or fix the ISP/router path
- A clear customer report with priorities and approved next steps
- Optional post-change readings for a true before-and-after comparison
Vendor-neutral placement help
Can your existing equipment do the job?
Tech Genie can assess many common Wi‑Fi and mesh systems. Exact controls depend on the model, manufacturer app, firmware, and customer-controlled account access.

Service limitations
This is a measured walk test for homes and small offices, not a certified enterprise predictive RF design, spectrum-analysis package, or engineering survey for campuses, hospitals, warehouses, or regulated sites.
Built around Los Angeles spaces
The floor plan and building materials change the answer.
Plaster, lath, stucco, or concrete
Building materials can weaken coverage in ways another random extender does not solve.
Dense apartments and condos
Nearby networks, fixed gateway locations, and no-drilling rules change the practical options.
Two-story and long homes
Vertical separation and distant rooms can expose weak backhaul between mesh nodes.
ADUs, garages, and patios
Detached or outdoor coverage may need a wired access point or bridge assessment instead of more pucks.
Home offices
The office, video-call seat, printer, and VPN path matter more than one fast reading beside the router.
Small offices and shops
Printers, cameras, POS devices, guests, and workstations need a documented coverage plan.
Best for homes
Dead zones, bedrooms, garages, patios, cameras, smart-home devices, and mesh placement problems.
Best for small offices
Desks, printers, conference rooms, cameras, shared devices, and business Wi‑Fi that needs documentation.
Best before buying hardware
A map can show whether you need better placement, mesh, a wired access point, or an ISP/router fix.
Wi‑Fi coverage check FAQ
Answers before you book.
What is the difference between a Wi-Fi heatmap and a wireless site survey?
For Tech Genie, a Wi-Fi heatmap is a visual walk-test report that shows measured coverage by room or area. A wireless site survey is the practical field check behind it: walking the site, checking weak zones, reviewing router or access point placement, and recommending the next step.
Can a Wi-Fi heatmap help with mesh or access point placement?
Yes. A heatmap helps show where Wi-Fi is strong, weak, or unmeasured so mesh nodes and access points are not placed inside the dead zone they are supposed to fix.
Does Tech Genie collect Wi-Fi passwords or location tracking for the heatmap?
No. The heatmap workflow measures Wi-Fi coverage without requiring Wi-Fi credentials, GPS tracking, personal files, or browser history.
How much does a home Wi-Fi coverage check cost?
Tech Genie Wi-Fi coverage checks start around $175. Larger properties, multiple floors or buildings, wiring design, access-point work, and a separate return visit for after-change validation are quoted by scope.
Do I need a blueprint or floor plan for a Wi-Fi heatmap?
No. An existing floor plan can help, but it is not required for a practical room-by-room walk test. Tech Genie can label the important rooms and measurement spots without collecting GPS history.
Can Tech Genie fix the Wi-Fi problem after measuring it?
Yes, when the approved fix fits the visit. Tech Genie can help reposition or configure supported equipment and can quote mesh hardware, wired access points, Ethernet, or larger changes separately. Post-change measurements can verify the result.
Is this the same as an enterprise predictive RF survey?
No. This is a practical onsite walk test for homes and small offices. It does not claim to replace a certified enterprise predictive survey, spectrum analysis, or engineering package for campuses, hospitals, warehouses, or regulated projects.
Turn this into recurring value
Heatmaps make monthly network care easier to justify.
For homes and businesses with repeat Wi‑Fi complaints, the first heatmap becomes a baseline. Later visits can compare signal after router moves, mesh changes, wireless site survey findings, wiring, or access-point upgrades.
