[Freetime Fix-Up] Increase Wireless Router Range with Tinfoil

Extend wireless router range

The speed you get out of your wireless router is hugely dependent on what’s between it, and your laptop.   And, since routers are usually “Omni-directional”, meaning it radiates the signal in all directions,  much of that radiation can be lost if the router is against a wall or hidden in a bookcase. You could spend up to £40 for an antenna extender but with this simple little Freetime Fix-Up you’ll be able to significantly boost the distance and quality of signal by around 5-20%. Some people have reported a doubling of router signal.

All you need is some aluminium foil, glue, some card and the template below.  With this simple guide, you need to create a mirror (a parabola) to reflect the radio waves to a direction in the house which is more useful for you.

No more dead-zones in the house or garden!
