Thanks Rod, the external antenna was my next move.
I am in Sydney, any suggestion on model number that is known to work with LC2.9.4 ?

The Extender has been set up to use 2.4 GHz from the start.

The engineer in me wants to know why the failure in the cubicle.
I will do some more testing.
John.

Seems the card uses a R8168 interface. The R8168 requires a DKMS driver to get acceptable RT  performance. Not sure how that goes with a Pi. I would not use it for ethercat but would be fine for general network use.

Try 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz is not as reliable in an industrial setting and has much shorter range. I turned off all my 5G wifi

Failing that use a wifi USB dongle that has an external antenna and get a SMA bulkhead mount cable to extend it outside of the cabinet
