Do more bars mean better WiFi?+
Interference, capacity, backhaul, roaming and ISP matter in addition to signal.
When do wired APs make sense?+
Ethernet often provides more predictable backhaul in demanding spaces.
Why do materials and floors matter?+
Dense walls and slabs attenuate RF; area alone does not describe the path.
Do home, hotel and office change the result?+
Only when use implies operations, guests, segmentation or management; it does not arbitrarily change coverage.
Is the AP range a placement plan?+
No. It is a coverage and capacity heuristic; final placement requires review or a site survey.
What is backhaul?+
It is the link connecting each access point to the network. Wiring it usually improves stability and capacity.
