Enhance Wi-Fi signal in-house

Each user of the wireless network has the opportunity to optimize the operation of the router. Now I will describe to you the folk method, concerning how to strengthen Wi-Fi. For this procedure you will need scissors and a beer can. This will be enough to strengthen the Wi-Fi network.

So, take an ordinary tin can and wash it properly. If it has an opener, remove it. With a pair of scissors or a knife, cut the bottom completely and partially top. From the bottom you need to make a cut of the can, and then deploy it like a sail. Now fix this construction on the router with the help of chewing gum or plasticine. As soon as you do, the Wi-Fi signal will amplify.

This device is some kind of parabolic reflector. The curved tin should catch a larger amount of energy, which will be sent to the antenna of the device. But not everything is as simple as it might seem at first. After all, in order to increase the signal Wi-Fi was real, you need to save the parabolic profile. It is also necessary to choose the right focus, namely, the axis, where the waves incident on the reflector will be directed. Note that you need to find the axis, not the point, because the bend of the reflector is only in one plane.

Virtually all routers show what level of signal is available at the moment, which, of course, will help in the search. But one should also take into account the fact that when the Wi-Fi signal is amplified in this way, it will act only in the direction of the space where the reflector will be directed.

It should be noted that similar devices made by own hands are used for quite a long time. There are cases when the so-called directional antenna was made by people from available tools, and with its help access to the Internet of people living in private houses that are located far from the city was provided. And this led to such inventions a rather high price for ready-made similar equipment.

Here also the beer can is a miniature directional antenna. The standard antenna has a pie chart, while the surface of the tin cans it changes, and the Wi-Fi signal amplification occurs due to a partial reflection from the surface. The advantages are obvious. With its cheapness and simplicity, the design shows good results and can last for a long time without requiring absolutely no maintenance.

Let's sum up. Of course, ready-made antennas can show more impressive results. Also, there is no guarantee that you will immediately be able to properly adjust your tin analog and achieve the desired results. But for those who can not afford to spend money on the finished product, as well as for those who need to strengthen the signal at home or at the dacha, this will be a perfectly acceptable solution. On the manufacture of the device, there is almost no cost, and it will not take much time to set up. So, I think the advantages overlap with shortcomings. Information you have received - act!
