Placement in cape brick house

I own a cape style home, Router is placed on wall near the ceiling in the basement, close to the middle. First floor is brick and second floor is my roof with 2 small bedrooms. Is it better to place router on second floor or where it is?

    With homes that have brick/materials that block wifi well, sometimes you have to try several different locations to optimize placement. And sometimes you have to add in extenders or a mesh system to get full coverage. Its more of a challenge with those styles of homes to provide coverage.
