  • Publication number: 20240155364
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for providing remote evaluation of a placement of an access point relative to one or more wireless devices in communication with the access point in a wireless network. The access point may determine directions, relative to the access point, of signals associated with wireless communications received by the access point from the one or more wireless devices. An indication of whether to move access point may be provided. An indication of whether to install range extending computing devices may be determined based on evaluating a variety of wireless conditions associated with the wireless network.

  • Publication number: 20230116649
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for determining locations for range-extending devices. Signal strength between devices within an area may be measured one or more times over a time period. Based on the measurements, signal loss over fronthaul links and backhaul links may be determined for each range-extending device in the area. A predicted improvement in signal quality may be determined. A direction and distance to move each range-extending device may be determined based on a comparison with the fronthaul and backhaul signal qualities and the predicted improvement in signal quality. The direction, improvement in signal quality, and/or user preferences for devices may be used to determine an improvement associated with moving one or more range-extending devices.
