Unlock Full Home Wi-Fi Coverage with Deco Heatmap
Deco Heatmap is now available for All Deco Models via Deco App Beta!
Say goodbye to frustrating dead zones and buffering. The Deco App’s Wi-Fi Heatmap provides a clear, visual overview of your home’s wireless coverage, pinpointing exactly where your signal is strong and where it needs improvement. This straightforward tool helps you easily interpret your network’s actual coverage and make informed decisions about your Wi-Fi setup.
Placement Simulation:
Drag-and-drop Deco units onto your floor plan to simulate different layouts. Instantly see how moving a device affects coverage, identify interference sources (e.g., thick walls), and optimize bandwidth allocation.
Real vs. Simulated Data Comparison:
Compare AI-generated predictions with actual signal tests to validate accuracy. This dual approach captures real-world variables like furniture or neighboring networks, ensuring recommendations are actionable.
- Import & Customize Your Floor Plan: Upload a scaled floor map (hand-drawn or digital).
- Add structural details: Floors, rooms, doors, and walls for precise signal penetration analysis.
- Define Key Areas: Highlight critical zones (home office, gaming room) for targeted coverage analysis.
-
Place Deco Units: Position your Deco devices on the map. The app suggests ideal spots based on AI-driven mesh algorithms
Outdoor Deco Nodes Require an Outdoor Area
Adding Rooms for your Outdoor Areas (e.g., Backyard) isn’t just required for placing Outdoor Decos―it helps Heatmap visualize exterior Wi-Fi coverage from both your outdoor and indoor nodes!
We recommend creating a larger-than-normal backyard to see truly how far your wireless signal may reach.
Fine-Tuning Your Heatmap
Split Walls to Maximize Creative Control over Your Floor Plan
-
The Split option allows for flexible Room Shape Customization and Heatmap Accuracy.
-
You can Split Walls even when using predefined room shapes.
Tap and Hold on a Room or Wall While Moving to Disable Snapping
- No Overlapping Areas are Allowed. Make use of Wall Snapping―or bypass it―to ensure your adjacent walls are correctly aligned.
Set Key Areas Within Your Home (Favorites)
- Selecting Rooms where you frequently use and rely on stable Internet connectivity allows Heatmap to provide specific analysis for more precise device placement guidance.
What Does Your Heatmap Mean?
-
Multi-Floor and Room Insights: Switch between floors/rooms to spot weak signals everywhere.
-
Detailed Signal Metrics: Hover over areas to see signal strength and speed metrics and the number of connected devices per mode.
-
Color Key for Quick Interpretation:
-
Green Zones = Strong Signal (Ideal for 4K Streaming).
-
Orange/Red Zones = Suboptimal Connectivity (Needs Deco Repositioning or an Extra Unit).
-
Optimize Your Home's Backhaul Using Heatmap
A strong backhaul is the foundation of a fast, stable mesh network. While Wi-Fi speeds and client devices often get the spotlight, the way your Deco nodes communicate with each other has an equally significant impact on real-world performance. With Deco Heatmap, you can optimize not only coverage, but connectivity between nodes for maximum reliability and performance across your home.
The Deco Heatmap isn’t just a tool—it’s a foundation for perfect coverage. Test today and share your feedback:
- Did it help you find a pesky dead zone?
- Did moving a Deco based on the heatmap actually improve your signal?
- How did you make use of the Split or Merge features for Walls?
- Do you find yourself making use of the Key Areas feature?
- Did Snapping work reliably and in your favor, or did you need to override it in some cases?
- What features do you feel would make Heatmap even better?

@Ryan Thanks! Worked perfectly. I love being able.to try out alternate scenarios without actually moving equipment. Unfortunately the best placement in F2 for me is in the middle of a hallway at the top of a stairwell with no electric outlets. You dont get a lot of extra spots in an old Cape Cod house. But at least I can see why my husband's bedroom tv goes offline once in a while. His room is an awkward location on F2 but it is also directly above the office Deco, so I always assumed that was also providing some signal.This is a useful tool. Can I also plot out the outdoor area as well? We generally have great signal there, extending even to inside my neighbors house, as well as down to the street both front and back.

@David-TP I did some.further testing. The links in the help.section do not work, none of them. Additionally I installed the Beta on my phone, Galaxy S25 FE which is Android 15 and had no problems. Then I installed it on my tablet, Galaxy S6 LITE.which is Android 14. On the tablet I cannot open the heat map section at all, the app just crashes. I was also thinking that if I can get the heatmap section work on the tablet it would.be helpful to add a download/upload feature for the map so I don't have to create the map twice.
