WiFi Solver is the evolution of the Android app [WiFi Solver FDTD](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasmcole.wifisolver\&hl=en_GB), originally launched in 2014. This app was written in the aftermath of a blog post I wrote during my PhD about simulating WiFi called [Helmhurts](https://jasmcole.com/2014/08/25/helmhurts/), which went a bit viral back then. Read more about that blog post from coverage in [Ars Technica](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/08/mapping-wi-fi-dead-zones-with-physics-and-gifs/), [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/science/2020/7/21/21328522/wifi-mapping-signal-physics-science-isp-router-tips-tricks-verge-science), [The Conversation](https://theconversation.com/how-particle-accelerator-maths-helped-me-fix-my-wi-fi-38113) and (surprisingly!) the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2735856/The-physics-WIFI-ROUTER-Scientist-proves-centre-home-best-signal-strength.html). Ten years later in 2024 I was no longer a physicist but a software engineer, so I decided that a fitting way to mark the 10-year anniversary of that app would be to reimagine it on the web, which would be much more modern and take advantage of the significant advances in GPU support in browsers during that time. You can find out more about me, or get in touch, at my blog [Almost Looks Like Work](https://jasmcole.com/), a collection of explorations into physics, maths, and programming. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.wifi-solver.com/about.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
