  • Not a cantenna, antenna goes in the can, or pringles.

  • Such a  Fake!

  • thats awesome

  • What if my router dont have a antener?

  • What software you use to check the speed of the internet??

  • that's rather plain.. But it's useful.. nice keep it on

  • Lol to anyone that thinks this is fake and doesnt work an actually make your signal stronger and go farther

  • Whoa it does work!!! better than last time... Thanks a lot... Maybe it would really get better if it was a parabola

  • Thank you ....

  • Thanx a lot!!! It really helped me, my internet is going many times faster ^_^ Although i had to use (and shape) a clothes hanger instead of the can but it worked perfectly!!

  • i just did mine with the sieve/strainer, mine goes up to 100% from 20%

  • does it work better with peach or cranberry cans??

  • fake and gay

  • Hi does anyone know what program I can download to see where any WiFi connections are coming from like in a radar interface? I have a laptop running Windows 7 home premium

  • Where can I get the magnetized antenna and what does it plug into?

  • buy a repeater from phonesignal .co uk

  • how bout u call it the shit machine

  • your doing it backwards you put the windsurfer on the router.

  • do you pay for internet?

  • What is the name of the software u are using to calculate the % connection?

  • i like your accent man. what US state are you from pls? cheers

  • the support of the windsurfer DOESN'T have to be tinfoiled, only the backplate... i said that cuz i saw tinfoil in the tabs.

  • nice is this working i want 2 try. =) nice job

    

  • i was gonna try this, said F*** it. Cut the antenna off, soldered 2 chunks of wire back on, wrapped one around the other, extended it about a foot, and now i can pick up internet from a block away.

  • I CAN EXPLAIN THE GAIN ON THE HOMEBREWED ANTENNA REFLECTOR. THE BASE OF THE ANTENNA HAS A MAGNET. IT ACTS LIKE A CAPACITOR THAT HELPS TUNING. TRY THE WIND SURFER ON THE CAN. IT'S CALLED A GROUND PLANE. GREAT WORK. I'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN A 3 BAR SIGNAL ON MY PHONE WHERE THERE WAS NO SIGNAL BEFORE. ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR, WITH AN ALUMINUM ROAST PAN AND MY LAPTOP, I USED 7 SIGNALS THAT I COULD ONLY DETECT BEFORE. 11 MORE HAD WEP CODES. WITHOUT THE PAN I COULD ONLY DETECT 12 LANS. TRY THE CANTENNA.

  • does it work for my nokia 5800 phone? which one is better ,,usb connection or ???

  • Your home made antenna should work better then the wind surfer because its bigger and you have a metal can hooked on to it so it should give you a better signal. But if your were suppose to put the antenna on top of the home made antenna you should have full bars.... you should try the home made antenna and the wind surfer together to see if you get an even better signal.

  • nice job. I have that antenna.

    Interestingly enough I have one also that unscrews from the base (longer)

    I use a metal collinder (for draining vegetables!!) unscrew the base ..insert it through the middle hole and screw back the ariel part to the base sticking through the hole. Works wonders pointed in the right direction...can test it at different holes on the collinder too!

  • this is embaressing...

  • OMG, why don't you patent this crap :)

  • Dale, you've made a good video. You can attain the same signal strength with the Windsurfer if you use the same amount of reflector area...same as your rig. The larger the capture area, the better the signal strength. Also, placing the antenna on a metal can will make a better ground plane antenna. You will not get the same reading if you use your rig with those plastic CD cases. I'm glad you came up with the metal can. You have accomplished a job well done!!!

  • your stupid i see your mac address

  • @niluge9999 so what idiot, u are gonna spoof it and hack the world? stupid kids

  • @niluge9999 ooooooooooo a mac address. oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Silly little kid, you obviously know nothing about networking

  • What is that program you use to see the ur signal strength?

  • Where did you get this antenna and how much did it cost?

  • I just did this. It took me about 3min to make and doubled my signal.

    Thank you very much!

  • can you buy the antenna with the cord separately? if so, what are they called?

  • Thank you for the video Dale, i'l be making of these asap!

  • which program did you used to show your WiFi signal?

  • i just realized that i spend more if not too much time trying to improve my electronics than i do enjoy them them selves. you things like those 2 bars going higher make me more satisfied than using the actual INTERNET. how crazy is that?

  • @THE16THPHANTOM this means you shud be an engineer...if you are not already...learn , study and become one...life and job will be more satisfying...good luck.

  • also i am sure that it's not the receiver antenna problem cause i tried with an other modem and it had perfect signal...

  • guys i need help i bought a tp-link td-w8960nb and it desn't give good signal at all...i just walked like 10 meters and signal went down to ZERO...please help if u know any thing....

  • i have the same computer

  • That's pretty good. You could also be getting a reflection from somewhere off-beam , always a problem indoors. For my laptop: wifi and 3G, I made a corner reflector - foil on A4 card, folded to 45 degrees, antenna placed about 1 inch or less from the apex. It sends most signals over the 5 bar limit, from almost zero, and folds flat for travelling.

  • its called a focal point. thats why it works better to that side. the majority of the waves are bouncing off the curved aluminum to that side

  • only you would use a can like that when you could just make a cantenna instead and get 100% signal

  • does it work with a iphone?

  • @dracoolify Yeah, it boosts the signal going out, so anything that picks up wifi will be affected

  • @dracoolify

    Its an wifi smartass

  • Ur supposed to put the windsurfer on ur router and direct the waves to your antenna for your computer

  • The base of the atenna might be looking for a ground plane (the can) that would be the difference. The distance from thew antenna to the reflecter is important it should be 1/2 wave length I guess at 2 gig.

  • critical success

  • nice

  • You did it all wrong mate. The reflector has to be a parabola otherwise it doesn't focus the RF signal on one line (on the antenna). You would get much better results with a proper parabola. Also, the bigger the better.

  • @jackatube What exactly is a parabola? Sorry, I'm pretty young, and just getting in to this type of stuff. Thanks!

  • thanks for showing me your mac add

  • wind surfer on router and your can surfer on reciving end aka (pc antenna!)

  • put windsurfer on your router antenna... works better

  • what software did you use to see the signal strengh/quality ?

  • @zappload yah i want to know twoooo?

  • nice work ..

  • My! my... ohh my

  • Well, he's right about location, location, location.

  • wind surfer works mines was 18 now its 36

  • hi man why not call it the hobo antena?

  • it work like a dish (bell, star choice, etc...) look at office building. no one ever looks up at them. they use panel antennas. they work the best but good luck finding one

  • actually according to my assumption he did right, since windsurfer aqnd his inventions are in the same directions and there is a change in his results.......

    and moreover,it is a reciever(gainer) not an emitter so i think he is getting from right side outside the wall where he kept the reciever...........

    once think in my concept!!!!

  • busca pega!

  • go to 1min 35 sec and keep playing it

  • Dude: you've got the Windsurfer (and your "homebrew") pointed backwards !

    The concave side has to point to your computers: antena ( - > PC

    You will allways gel a poor signal if you put it in the opposite direction ...

  • ok............

  • DO THIS NOW

    1.get Glu stick,paper,foil,a pen,and some small string

    2.take the glue stick & put all over paper

    3.smush the foil that is bigger than your piece of paper onto your paper

    (make as smooth as possible)

    4.poke a hole the size of your pen in the center and 2 smaller holes on the sides.

    5.tie the string to both sides, tight enough for the foiled paper to band like a half-pipe

    6.Put it on the antenna and point to router until u get sweet spot

    Before i did(12-24mbps)

    AFTER i did(45-60mbps)

  • WiFi Analyzer - 1.2

  • software name?

  • Hey could this work with a normal *TV (line extender male) to plug into an Antenna* I don't have a antenna and cant be bothered going and buying one lol

  • What software are you using for testing the different signal impact?

  • U r using Ovislink Air LIVE wifi device ??? xD
