Adequate Wi-Fi coverage on mobile devices greatly improves the experience while using them. In any case, seeing the mobile Wi-Fi range can help improve our experience. After installing a TP Link router or any other brand, the signal of the mobile device and the existing coverage capacity must be taken into account. We will talk about this a bit later in this article, so take note of each of the points.
How to See the Range of WiFi Coverage of my Cellular What is the Range?

How many meters does the Wi-Fi of the cell phone reach and how to visualize its power?
Certainly there is no exact measurement to say how many meters are the maximum for a Wi-Fi connection with the mobile. In any case, knowing the technologies we can establish an estimate. For 2.4GHz technology, you can expect a maximum range of about 100m without walls, which usually drops to less than 50m when there are walls . On the other hand, when using the mobile as a Wi-Fi router , the signal is usually much lower.
The above information is valid for both mobile and basic routers. In any case, knowing the previous data is not very useful, the truth is that it is best to see what the range or coverage of your cell phone’s Wi-Fi is in a more direct way.
It is very easy to see the scope of the mobile device within Android. To do this , we download the Signal Strength application , software specifically designed to see the Wi-Fi range on mobile devices. When you open the Signal Strength app for the first time, you’ll need to give it the appropriate permissions. Simply click on Accept and then on “Allow” in each of the options that are displayed on the screen of your mobile phone.
After doing the above settings, you can use the Signal Strength app without any limitations. Its operation is extremely simple, the screen will show the signal represented in ” Low” (low) “OK” and “Good” (good) in turn in the middle the intensity is shown in percentage, that is, in numbers.
In the previous way you will be able to know the range or coverage of your mobile phone in relation to the home Wi-Fi. In turn, there is the possibility of switching between the Wi-Fi signal and the mobile network, simply press on the option you want to see and the information about the signal will be displayed on the screen.
How to know if the intensity of the Wi-Fi signal is good and know its range?
If you use the Signal Strength application as we showed you before, you will be able to determine the strength of your mobile to receive and be able to send the signal on the Wi-Fi connection. In any case, there are some things that will determine that the intensity of the Wi-Fi is good beyond what we see on the screen.
Clearly when we see high numbers or the typical graph of Wi-Fi at its maximum, we can determine that the signal is good . In any case, there are certain factors that you must take into account if you want to improve the Wi-Fi Internet connection .
The most important thing is the location of the router. The truth is that it should be in a central area. This will undoubtedly help make the Wi-Fi signal range adequate for the entire home . In fact, you can use the Signal tool to establish the ideal place, useful if your home is very large.
Currently, almost all routers are capable of transmitting a signal well suited to covering an entire home. As such, you rarely have to worry about your home Wi-Fi signal , but if you really want to know the range of your router, we might want to know a few numbers. As we pointed out before, there is the 2.4 GHz connection and the 5 GHz connection.
As we pointed out, 2.4 GHz has an estimated range of about 50 m with walls, and up to 100 m in open spaces. On the other hand, the 5 GHz signal, which is much faster, is not as good in terms of distances. Remaining less than 15 m range inside homes and even less than 25 m in open spaces. Then it is enough to know the model of your router and determine if it works in 2.4 or 5 GHz.
