Why not just loosely wrap the antenna or entire box in foil or move it to the basement/garage/roof?

If you're going for realism, bad wifi is a radio signal problem.

Not necessarily, it could also be on-band or off-bad interference, or bugs in the AP, or too many clients on the network.

Oh I'll write that down! Looks like it can at least do something bad to the signal.
