I need to know the distance between my phone and WiFi access points. These points are set up in adjacent rooms. I researched about Geo Location, but that's been deprecated now ... Basic set-up of my project consists of 3 WiFi access points. My code is getting the strongest signal and getting connected to that access point.

Now I need to get the distance between that access point and my phone. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Based on my knowledge and following answers, it is not possible to find out distance between your device and WiFi access point. Because basically they don't store GPS location inside.
