Typically only outside walls

I drilled enough holes in my house to tell that typically inside walls don't have chicken wire, or much metal at all. However, the outside walls do.

This could even be a good thing to keep outsiders out of my network .

Other serious WI-FI blocking contraptions are large mirrored closet doors. I guess the reflective layer is metal.

If you have an old house with stucco exterior walls the substrate used to hold the stucco on can be a metal mesh which can have a mesh fine enough to attenuate a wifi signal quite well.

Heh, my (not living in it right now) house built less than 15 years ago has stucco/lath on the outside. And a tin roof up top! Inside walls aren't too meaty though so inside WiFi coverage is no big deal.
