so yeah, it was a very boring summer vacation tuesday yesterday. i was roaming the internet, browsing random forums, lookin for anything to do, and i stumbled across this page:
The cheap antennas page
its kinda weird to browse and get to exactly the one u want, so here's two urls (i used the first design)
Design I Used
Windsurfer Design
the materials i used, as u can see from the screenshots were:
it works WONDERS. i made three, two for the antennae on my router and one to put beside my adapter. using the right positioning i jumpe from an oscillating signal between 60-73% to a solid 93%!!
it really helped my webcam chat with my gf on msn, a LOT less cut offs...
so yeah, if ur up to it, grab the materials and build it. it shouldnt take more than 30 min (i took 1 hr and 45 min makin all three). it will really help the signal, plus u can concentrate it to certain areas of ur home and cut it off others (my front yard for example....*mumbles* damn neighbours *mumbles*) heh heh

- Cardboard from any box (I used the type that's used to package PC Hardware)
- Styrofoam (also the one used to package PC Hardware)
- Normal Kitchen Tin Foil
- Scotch Tape
