Wifi range very small after top case keyboard replacement

Hi

I change the top case keyboard after a flood event.

Everything went well but the wifi coverage became very poor. you have to be less than a meter from the wifi box for it to work.

I couldn't find any information about a wifi antenna in a macbook retina 2017.

any idea ?

Hi @jrubiks

See the images in Step.29 & Step.30 of the ifixit Retina MacBook 2017 Battery Replacement for the location of the antenna connections to the logic board

Make sure you haven't damaged the coax wires. You may need new speakers as the antenna's are part of them.
