Making A WIFI Signal Booster


Hi there. Ever had trouble connecting to your home WIFI system, and it is just a little bit out of range? Well I get that problem. In my house the WIFI machine is in the office which is downstairs, and my room is upstairs, so I don't get a signal. What I am going to show you how to make today is a WIFI signal booster.

Step 1 is an important step. This step is just to gather up the materials you will need to make this device. Below are the items needed:
  • The template which needs to be printed A4 size(which you can acquire by clicking here)
  • A3 card
  • Aluminium-foil
  • A glue-stick
  • Scissors or a paper cutter( if using a paper cutter you also need a strong ruler)
Our second step is to glue the template to the A3 card. I would recommend to use a lot of glue so that the template does not peel itself off of the card.

The third step is to flip the card over and stick the aluminum-foil to it. We must use aluminum-foil because this will help project the signal out a farther distance.

Step 4 is to carefully cut around the template. The template consists of two sections. There is one circular shaped piece, and one squared piece. This is the hardest step, because if you accidently cut a line right through the middle of it, then you will have to restart the whole creation.

In step five we need to cut holes in the middle of the template. There are already indications on where to cut. Try and cut the holes on the circular template big enough so that the WIFI antenna can go through.
 










In our penultimate step, we need to fold the shape. First we have to fold the circular shape.  The circular shape has five tabs which you must slot into the five open slot holes in the square shape. If this step sounds confusing, then please consider looking have a look at the picture below.

Alright now it is the last step. In this step we have to just put the antenna through the last two holes.

Now we are done! If you have created it correctly, then your signal can be boosted by a whole 25%. If you are confused on how to make this then you can click here and watch the same video I watched a few months ago.
