You are all probably correct. I will play with a few things and see. Hopefully we wont be in this location for long.

Sounds like you are in somewhat of a Faraday Cage, like they use in MRI scanner labs and CIA buildings to keep out RF signals. The walls are probably grounded as well, which is not a good thing to do with the signal conductor part of your coax lead. I also wonder if the reflective attributes of the panels would add some nasty multi-path interference an AP inside the room. Good luck with it.

One of the rooms in our temporary office space apparently used to be a commercial kitchen. The shared walls are covered in stainless steel. Has anyone tried to use a large piece of metal for an antenna, apart from the radiation patterns not being uniform?
