I will be getting UFB and putting in structured cabling into a 1960’s house. I think Snap is a good option, and their FritzBox has an integrated DECT base station for phones, which is cool.

But if I have the FritzBox in the Home Distribution Box along with the ONT, Switch, etc. won't the wifi and DECT signals be blocked (or at least severely attenuated) by the steel cabinet door? Can you get plastic boxes that let the signal pass through, or is there another way?

Thanks

Would the fritz not be better sited in a prime coverage location like the top of the pantry or similar. Just ensure you have two to,s to that location to both deliver the UFB wan and return the LAN to the switch in. The cabinet.
