That leads to a question- how are we to set up a WiFi network when the house or room is empty, without knowing how their house full of guests will affect it when they have a party, fundraiser or some kind of presentation that needs a quality network connection?
I guess it's best to make the signal so strong people glow when they leave.
Walls are always going to be the biggest impediment to signal propagation. You can place APs in larger rooms or areas that are important. You could place an AP in every room as long as you’re mindful of your channel reuse plan and signal levels. In very dense environments (like auditoriums) you will see multiple APs installed to handle the client density or to improve throughput.
Your cell size is dependent on a few factors, but this gives you an idea of what different data rates will do to signal propagation.
