Cut and past your way to better WiFi reception? It costs pennies and takes the fabrication skills of a kindergartner... then bend a 6dBi Omni and a 10dBi directional out of copper wire!
David's got a bit of trouble getting his WiFi Router signal to reach every corner of his house... one of the easiest fixes ever isn't a trip to the local computer store, but a trip to the kitchen for aluminum foil, then to the home office for a manilla folder and a glue stick.

what dbi that biquad has and the size of each square?
hey once you have built all these antennas with a coax output where do you interface the coax to for the wireless network. example, I have a wireless laptop for home, Iwant to use a wireless network that I can get with directional antenna, how do I interface an antenna to my wireless card on the laptop
you need a router with external antenna slot
That's why I hate modifying laptops.
great
great
The wind runner antenna works alot better if you make it out of a turkey pan instead of card board and tin foil
I need to see this video to make and antena for this video so that I can see this video O_o
Thanks for the help
