No, positioning the router close to the wall holes won't be influenced by the circuit breaker box.

Unless your breaker is somehow outputting frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz then I wouldn't worry.

You check for potential impacts before proceeding.

Based on my understanding of networking and my Cisco training, a circuit breaker shouldn't impact your Wi-Fi signal. The metal part might cause some interference, but it's unlikely to affect performance significantly.

Check the sources and verify the data. Understand the context to confirm accuracy. The explanation addresses how to assess reliability and why certain factors remain unaffected by interference.

I have no idea how your home was constructed, but I recall that breakers typically don’t display frequencies.

I assumed Ethernet wires and power wires couldn't be used together since they might interfere with each other. I expected it to be similar in this case.

A shielded Cat5/6 cable is built to guard against external interference, but placing them next to electrical wiring isn't advised. It's common to run electricity through one stud while cables go elsewhere. WiFi operates on different frequencies—2.4GHz and 5GHz—while electrical systems don’t emit those signals. Usually, you’ll find either 110-volt AC (110V) or 220-volt AC (220V). Most regions use 50Hz (50 cycles per second), with only a few at 60Hz. In the U.S., standard is 120V at 60Hz AC. A microwave, for instance, broadcasts 5GHz, which can interfere with WiFi in schools or offices if you're both using it.

I understand how to handle cat cables. You haven't clarified how the signal gets impacted and why power cables matter. Your location is the UK with 240v, no details on frequency or other factors. I expected you to mention potential interference issues.
