Not metal. It's clear plastic. The internal wifi worked just fine,
displaying signal quality in the 75-80% range when first set up.

There's some chance I misunderstand the meaning of "signal quality".
It appears to be a simple log measure of received power. Maybe there's
more to it. The man pages for wavemon don't indicate.

In effect, that's what I've done. I'd still like to understand why
it was necessary.

Thanks for writing,
