If you put the router into a good quality shielded box with RF filtering on the power going into the box, very little of the RF signal will get out of the box (or into it from outside). Wrapping aluminum foil around the router will have some shielding effect, but nowhere near what a good shielded enclosure with filtered power will have.kos said:

The purpose of wrapping a router in metallic foil is to create a Faraday cage, which blocks external electromagnetic interference and helps to improve the performance and stability of the router's signal.
No, wrapping a router in metallic foil will not directly make your internet connection faster. However, it may help to improve the stability and reliability of your connection by reducing external interference.
Yes, it is safe to wrap your router in metallic foil. The foil is not conductive, so it will not cause any harm to the router or interfere with its functionality.
It is recommended to use aluminum foil to wrap your router as it is lightweight and easily moldable. Other types of metallic foil, such as copper or steel, may be too thick or stiff and may not provide the same level of protection.
No, wrapping your router in metallic foil will not completely block all external interference. It will only help to reduce the amount of interference and improve the signal quality, but it cannot eliminate all sources of interference.
