This study provides an overview of signal distribution pattern using Cost-231 Multi-Wall (MWM) propagation model. The signal distribution pattern is used as a reference in projecting indoor Access Points (AP) placement in Malang Institute of Asia. The MWM approach estimates the actual radio wave propagation value for measurements are made by considering obstacles between APs and user devices. The study recommends 10 optimal points of AP placement for the 1st, 3rd and 4th-floors, and 7 optimal points for the 2nd-floor. Determination of these placement points was based on the estimated signal strength obtained by users, at -50dBM up to - 10dBm, which is the range for good and excellent signal category.
