I definitive "maybe" depending on the location and type of router along with the construction materials involved. (You mentioned steel.) I like this router, as does PC Magazine, and their opinion is far more important than mine. With that said, for the price, I think it is worth trying. Good luck.

I could not get it to work with my phone. I also could not get it to connect to my computer either. With that being said my Internet has a poor quality

Don't know, I have a PC and it didn't work well. Had to return it.
