Before hacking out insulation, I'd try the attic approach first.


Too late. I already did it and without moving the wifi module to be
near the hole, the signal already improved from marginal (a red
indicator LED) to OK (the LED is now yellow). Tomorrow, I will move
the wifi module to be near the hole. I expect a green LED after that.

Final update: I moved the wifi device to right in front of my RF
hole. The LED is green and everything is back to normal. I replaced
the old insulation with non-foil type and covered the hole with the
$15 cover plate a mentioned in previous posts. All is well. Thanks.


Good job.

I will say the metal is on the insulation for a reason. It may be
moisture barrier. Is that important with your shed?
