			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><P>Havent written for a looong time.</P><P> </P><P>Just sharing a new discovery from the internet about improving your wifi signal. It actually worked for me. It improved my wifi signal in my room from 1 bar to 3 bars. A really cheap alternative way for buying expensive high gain antennas. This tutorial is very easy to follow and im sure all (if not, atleast one XD) materials can be found inside your  house.</P><P> </P><P>Materials:  </P><P>1 rectangular cardboard; a folder will do.</P><P>aluminum foil</P><P>scotch tape</P><P>small rectangular piece of styro</P><P>a screw driver (or anything than can be used to put a whole on the styro)</P><P>super glue</P><P>scissors</P><P> </P><P>Step 1:  Cut a rectangle from your folder. (i have mine 1/4 of the whole long folder).</P><P>Step 2: Cut a little bit bigger rectangle from your aluminum foil.</P><P>Step 3: Cover one side of your rectangular folder with the aluminum foil and tape the exceeding foil at the back.</P><P>Step 4: Curve the aluminum-covered folder with the aluminum inside creating a parabolic shape.</P><P>Step 5: Create a hole in the styro for the antenna of your wireless router and glue it on your parabolic &#8220;dish&#8221;. But positioning of the styro will depend as long as the tip of the antenna is at the center of your folder. Use a super glue, using a normal glue wont work, the &#8220;dish&#8221; will just fall off.</P><P> </P><P>Pics to come a little later. XD </P></p>
