The WiFi Guys

Plan your WiFi

Answer a few questions and watch your system take shape. About ninety seconds.

Step of

What kind of home is it?

Who's your internet with?

It changes what we need to bring on the day.

Whereabouts?

If we've worked in your community before, we can be more exact.

Not in the list? Type it anyway — it still helps.

How many floors?

Count the ground floor. Watch the plan grow.

Walls are the only thing that stops WiFi, so this is what decides where units go.

The workspace

Meeting rooms

Living and dining

Kitchen

Where is the kitchen?

A kitchen off the living room, or next to where your internet comes in, is usually already covered — it only needs its own unit when it is tucked away on its own.

And upstairs?

The upstairs workspace

Meeting rooms upstairs

A landing with the bedroom doors onto it changes where the units go.

Bedrooms upstairs

Do the bedrooms open onto a landing?

Where does your internet come in?

The du or Etisalat box. Everything gets wired back to it, so where it sits decides how much cable the job needs.

Anywhere outside you'd want covered?

Optional, and we won't price it in. Most homes this size don't need it — the indoor units usually reach a small garden. Worth telling us anyway so we can look when we're there.

Network points in the walls?

A square wall socket with a wide, telephone-style port — often in a bedroom, the study, or beside the TV.

What's going wrong?

Pick any that sound familiar.

Anything we should know?

Optional — skip if nothing springs to mind.

Where shall we send it?

You'll see your design on the next screen — this is so you have a copy.

We'll send your design and someone will follow up on WhatsApp. No automated marketing, and we don't pass your details on.

Questions about planning a system

What people usually want to know before they start.

How many access points does a villa need?
It depends on floor area and the number of floors, not the bedroom count. As a rough guide a two-bedroom villa needs two or three, a three or four-bedroom villa three to five, and a five-bedroom villa upwards of five, plus one weatherproof unit for each garden, pool or terrace. Concrete floors do not pass WiFi, so every floor needs at least one of its own. This tool works it out room by room from your answers.
Why does the bedroom count not decide it?
Because within a single Dubai community a three-bedroom home can vary in size by more than double. A three-bedroom villa in Mudon Rahat is close to 3,900 sq ft; a three-bedroom townhouse in Mudon Arabella is around 2,000. The first needs about five access points and the second about three, so sizing on bedrooms alone would get one of them badly wrong.
Does it give me a price?
No, deliberately. You get the design — how many access points, where they go, what switch, and whether cable needs running — but no figure, because an honest price depends on the wall construction and cable routes, and those are confirmed on site.
How long does it take?
About ninety seconds. It asks what kind of property it is, which community, the rooms on each floor, any outdoor areas, who your internet is with, and whether there are network points in the walls.
Is the design accurate without someone visiting?
It is accurate enough to tell you what you are looking at and to plan around. What it cannot see is wall construction, existing cable routes and where the incoming line lands, which is what the survey confirms. The survey is AED 420, credited in full against your installation if you go ahead.
Do I have to give my details to see the result?
Yes — the design is emailed to you, so we need an email address. We do not create an account for you and we do not call unless you ask us to.
