Hello,
I would like to have Wi-Fi coverage throughout the entire house.
Here is my plan:
- On the ground floor, the router will be placed under the stairs, in front of the utility room (the space is not fully recessed, standing height)
- On the first floor, an access point will be installed at the staircase leading to the attic (ceiling height)
- In the attic, another access point will be mounted in the hallway on the drywall partition wall (ceiling height)
Question: Is this setup sufficient, and are these locations suitable? Can you recommend any specific products?
Thanks and regards!

If you don’t have a lot of metal nearby, it really doesn’t matter which position you use. Red, green, or blue, it hardly makes a difference.
Regarding the terrace: We have six neighbors here, all using standard Telekom, 1&1 devices, etc. I can see all their networks from my place (with acceptable signal strength), and I can also use my own network when I’m on their terrace.
As long as it’s only about 2.4 GHz, you don’t need to worry too much.

The existing current Wi-Fi threads are still high enough in the post overview, so I won’t link to them separately here.
