If we don’t want our homes to eat Wi-Fi signals, companies will need to start eating the cost of choosing better Wi-Fi-penetrating materials — or, at the very least, they will need to stop putting fiber connection points literally inside walls.
Or you could just USE THE DAMN ETHERNET DROPS THEY SO KINDLY BUILT FOR YOU.
Of course you’re going to get shit signal if you put one AP in a metal box and expect it to cover the whole house. that’s why they built that box and ran Ethernet throughout the house.
There’s been an unfortunate trend of newly-built houses not running Ethernet cables. Here in Canada, at least. You can still run them yourself, but the average person probably isn’t going to bother with it.

So if they can’t be bothered, then I’d say it’s not a big deal to them.
Hell, I couldn’t be arsed to run a wire for my TV for months. And I’ve run miles of cable, and it was trivially easy for my TV, took about an hour.
If we’re making requests, please use conduit for wires. Pulling new cable (cat x, fiber, whatever) is such much easier that way.
