Dirt-Cheap DIY Wi-Fi Booster
Do you have wifi in your house/apartment/whatever? Are you irritated w/ the range of the router?
Don’t want to spend $50 on a bigger antenna or two?
Here’s your solution: freeantennas.com EZ-12 Parabolic Reflector
It’s pretty simple really:
- It creates a parabola. Parabolas reflect things.
- You cover it with tin foil, thereby providing an RF-reflective surface.
- It’s dirt cheap. Like less than $1 cheap.
There’s a cool side-effect to this, though. In reflecting RF from the router, you’re also dampening the RF field behind the reflector. This is a great solution, not only for boosting coverage in your house, but for getting rid of the pesky bandwidth leeches next door.
