The new Raspberry Pi 5 again lacks an SMA connector for the WiFi antenna. In Raspberry Pi 4, when using an aluminum case with cooling, the signal dropped significantly.
Again you will probably have to scratch the board.
I think the Wi-Fi is the weakest part of RPI 5. Wi-Fi did huge step forward in last years (ax, 6 Ghz, low power, embedded features, ...), but RPI is still vendor locked on Broadcom module which is not very performant and it is also limited by SDIO interface.
