    WiFi Parabolic Dish Add-On

    Interesting site - I am going to make a couple since I get poor reception/transmission from a back-basement room to the router upstairs.

    Well, the update.

    I took a Tim Horton's coffee can, cut the bottom out (top already gone since the wife drank it all) and then proceeded to cut the can in half vertically to create 2 dishes.

    Using the curvature template at the site I noted above, I shaped the 2 dishes and then positioned them behind each of the aerials on my Linksys router.

    The signal strength, which was LOW in the back basement went immediately to GOOD.
