[[File:The Geekworm X306-C1-IMG-9742is a premium metal case specifically designed for use with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and Geekworm X306 V1.3 UPS board. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, this case provides a sleek and protective housing for your Raspberry Pi Zero 2W project.jpg|700px]]
It should be noted that the metal shell will have a certain shielding effect on WiFi, and the farther the device is from the router, the greater the effect will be[[File: X306-C1-IMG-9736-Packing-List. We tested the effect of metal casing on Wi-Fi signal, and the results are as follows:jpg|500px]]

'''Test Result:'''

| 2025-07-31 12:54:04: signal: -48 dBm || 2025-07-31 14:44:12: signal: -47 dBm
|}
'''WiFi signal strength reference range'''
 
-30 dBm to -60 dBm: Very strong signal (close to the router).
 
-60 dBm to -70 dBm: Good signal (suitable for daily use).
 
-70 dBm to -85 dBm: Weak signal (may affect speed or stability).
 
<-85 dBm: Extremely poor signal (difficult to connect or frequently disconnects).
 
'''Test subjects''': X306-C1 metal case
 
'''Test Method''': We flashed the Raspberry Pi OS Legacy (6 May 2025) version and used the script [[File:Wifi-signal-monitor.zip]] (download and unzip it) to obtain the WiFi signal strength with and without the X306-C1 metal case.
 
'''Other notes''': The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W motherboard is about 3.5 meters away from the router, with no obstructions in between. Use the script wifi_signal_monitor.sh to test
 
'''2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band''' :Since the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W only supports the 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n WiFi band, you can only access 2.4GHz SSID hotspots.
 
Based on the above test results, we can draw a conclusion: X306-C1 can meet the needs of devices using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi '''when close to the router''', which should be attributed to the larger heat dissipation hole design on the surface of the X306-C1 shell.
