Yes, placing your router inside a casing is acceptable. It won’t interfere with the wireless network as long as the PC stays outside the case.

Placing it on top of a casing is acceptable, but positioning it higher in a central spot around the room would improve coverage for everyone.

The internal electromagnetic signals won't disrupt the router's wireless connections.

It's an electronic device, not a tool for causing harm...

In theory, every wire carries some magnetic flux because current passes through it, though the amount is minimal and unlikely to noticeably impact wireless communication. The surrounding metal enclosure also tends to block these fields effectively. For better performance, placing the device higher in the home could help ensure a stronger signal. If possible, connecting via Ethernet to the computer works well when the setup is nearby the router.
