What to Expect From Your WiFi Survey Report

By Titan Grid · Published 13 September 2026 · Updated 20 September 2026

Short answer: a good WiFi survey report gives you heat maps of your actual floor plans, capacity analysis, precise access point placement, channel and power settings, and a prioritized remediation plan with estimated costs and timelines. Here's what each part should contain — and what to push back on if yours doesn't.

Key takeaways

A report should be actionable by installers, IT teams and executives alike.
Heat maps show where coverage fails; the remediation plan shows how to fix it.
AP placement should include mounting heights and orientations, not just locations.

Heat map visualisations

Colour-coded coverage, signal strength and interference heat maps overlaid on your actual floor plans, so you can see exactly where coverage gaps exist before they become problems.

Capacity and performance analysis

Detailed capacity planning showing expected throughput, client density support and bandwidth allocation per area. It's not just "is there signal" — it's "can the network handle your users at peak load."

AP placement recommendations

Precise access point placement with mounting heights, antenna orientations and power settings, including cable run estimates and switch port requirements, so your installer isn't guessing. Channel plans and power settings should be specified per access point.

A prioritized remediation plan

The report should tie it together with the survey methodology, findings and recommendations, plus a prioritized remediation plan with estimated costs and timelines. All documentation should be suitable for internal IT teams, facilities managers and executive stakeholders.
