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 ?

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