ᐅ Location of Wi-Fi Router in the Attic?

I am planning a bungalow with 120 sqm (1,290 sq ft) of living space and am considering placing the Wi-Fi router as centrally as possible within the house.

I thought about installing it in the attic since it would be out of sight there.

Does anyone know if a drywall ceiling plus 24 cm (9.5 inches) of mineral wool would significantly block the Wi-Fi signal from reaching the rest of the house?

Thank you very much for your answers.

Hello,

I have had a Fritzbox in the attic for 3 years now, and so far there have been no problems (although this is the second one because the connection was switched to VDSL and the old one couldn’t handle it). For a new build or if renovations are planned anyway, I would choose a different location. That’s what I am currently doing as well—I’m still looking for a suitable place where the device is centrally located but doesn’t stand out too much.
Once you appreciate the advantages of the Fritzbox, its exact location shouldn’t matter much. The practical benefits definitely outweigh that.
