Nope. Move the access point and/or it's antenna to a different location.
Wired 10/100 ethernet can run just a little over 100m. Move the router and
run ethernet to another local switch. Fiber ethernet can go quite a bit
further but you'd have to use signal converters on both ends; adding about
another $100 onto the cost.

That depends on the container. 2.4GHz wireless will leak through
slots and holes to some degree. Anything over about 1/2 wave (6.25cm)
long will re-radiate the signal to some extent. If the metal
container is properly sealed, there will be no RF leakage. If it's
full of slots and holes, it will leak RF.

If you're thinking of maintaining internet access while going over
Niagra Falls in a barrel, I suggest that there are more important
difficulties to consider before proceeeding.

Well Jeff, having personally been photographed plunging over Niagara
Falls in a barrel:

In actuality, the "real difficulty" was positioning the photographer so
that he could "snap" our photo just as we reached the "brink," before
our plunge downwards 170 feet.

Additionally, the Cisco Aironet Antenna Reference Guide may be worth
investigating:
