ᐅ Location of Wi-Fi Router in the Attic?

Nothing at all... I already wrote that further above...

I have two routers. One connected in the basement utility room and another on the ground floor configured as an access point. In the attic, so through two wooden ceilings, I still have network coverage via the access point. On the ground floor, I don’t get any network from the basement router because there is a reinforced concrete ceiling in between.

You shouldn’t have any issues with the network in the attic, but environmental factors might cause problems.

I restart the router directly through its console (accessible via IP).

Hello,

I have Wi-Fi and network outlets. My Wi-Fi can be switched on and off using a controllable power socket where the Wi-Fi router is plugged in. The device is quite discreet (a small white device from Apple). It is intended for the laptop and later for the iPad (or the children’s iPod).

The desktop computer is directly connected via cable. The speed difference is clearly noticeable! My advice is to connect all fixed devices directly to the network and use Wi-Fi only for mobile devices (mainly for me also because of the exposure to radiation)!

This is not about the fundamental question of whether to use Wi-Fi or not, but rather about the placement of the router. It should be clear to everyone that wired devices are faster.

I understand that, but does everyone else?

Would it maybe make more sense to choose the location based on usage rather than trying to get the best signal in every corner?

I just want to offer some food for thought!

Definitely not under the roof, as that can cause problems. Especially in summer, it can get extremely hot there, which can affect the router. We have ours in our equipment room, and it works perfectly.
