Indoor localisation systems based on a Wi–Fi local area wireless technology bring constantly improving results. However, the whole localisation system may fail when one or more Access Point (AP) malfunctions. In this paper we present how to limit the number of observed APs and how to create a malfunction immune localisation method. The presented solutions are an ensemble of random forests with an additional malfunction detection system. The proposed solution reduces a growth of the localisation error to 4 percent for the floor detection inside a six floor building and 2 metres for the horizontal detection in case of a gross malfunction of an AP infrastructure. The system without proposed improvements may give the errors greater than 30 percent and 7 metres respectively in case of not detected changes in the AP’s infrastructure.
