Best Wi-Fi for a reinforced-concrete apartment
The short answer
Concrete and steel stop signal between rooms almost completely.
On our published scores the NETGEAR Orbi suits this kind of home best. Its overall WiFiXpert Index score is 79/100, which is a separate measure and unchanged by this page.
We've left the free provider hubs out of this one. A single box genuinely cannot cover this kind of home, however good it is.

What we're assuming
We are not measuring the walls in your house. Nobody can do that from a web page. We weight practical suitability — reach, the number of boxes, and whether they can be joined by a cable — and we show our working.
