Parabolic WiFi Booster in Lego

[the3rdfloor634]

Epic to say the least.

[the3rdfloor634]

Well done. Both the video and construction. I admire your ingenuity.

[kdr26554]

Wouldn't it be 1000 times easier and cheaper to just run a cat5 cable to the router in the other room?

[chesedchesed]

@kdr26554 Hehe, Actually. I have been using a Cat7 bought in Japan, 2 years ago. much better;)

[jeffschefke]

Dude i want that!

[llwMwll]

3:42 HAHHA maaan...u r fucking maaadd maaaan. hahah

[harlyq1967]

Too bad during the intro graphics there are so many mis-spellings.

[Yayakills]

dude that was bad ass.

now all the lego figures will be happy with their signal all them at lego starbucks

[cyberjackcyberjack]

that thing is amazing. Am thinking not for Wardriving then ? .. lol

[Sevencastle]

ur a loser

[chesedchesed]

@Sevencastle and you're the winner?

[jojorockshard0g8]

very dramatic

[mile0chicken]

My 1st thought when I saw the dish - "Holy Crap..."

[prit123698745]

lego wifi god!!!

[jamalakj]

intro was a little long

[ClamCrunchy]

This reminds me of something I did.

I built a Wifi dish from KNEX and aluminum foil, but it looks a lot crappier than yours. It can rotate on one axis, so I don't have to go outside to change the direction of the dish.

I might build a new one, and I'll think about copying your design.

[MrVelozity]

damn i was going to say GAY...but its not that bad when you watch it all! i like the way you made it except the legos killed it!

[quantass]

Nice to see a person who appreciates thematic scores but seriously...there is literally no substance in this video...i could have said and show the same thing in 5 secs.

[29379]

great stuff but no need for intro

[16GDSM]

That lego thing is awesome, you should really do an update like how far away can you detect the signal from outside the house and so on.

Props

I built something similar, a huge parabolic piece of cardboard insulated with a million miles of duct and tin foil and i can detect signal from about ~700 feet and go on xbox live and watch movies on netflix in HD granted if its available.

[MichiganTreasure]

Thanks for some good background music.

[choc0chips91]

awesome..

[slappysquirrel321]

how many diff connections can your computer detect now? you should try it and see, bet is like 50 or so!!!

[toxiqs]

5 minutes of pure bullshit and nothing partcular but bulshit

[DarkMission91]

This Videeeo WIN D:

[General5552]

0.00 - 1:34 - music from Homeworld. And in Homeworld style :D Very nice video. Greetings.

[pinkfloydeffect]

Lol, kool video but a car without gas is more like a computer without an outlet or power. Haha

[PocketBrain]

You could say a computer without the internet is like a car without an interstate; you can't get very far at all.

[pinkfloydeffect]

Well put mate

[dragoony99]

thats brill thx

:-)

[jellynation]

lol nice video very dramatic and funny!

[theklaus]

haha nice video. boa cabeçudo!!!

[dasgemuse]

i have three computers with no internet. and i still have wifi

[elzilcho7707]

thats awsome, great idea, and i lvoe lego. it would be great tif you can give me the building instructions for that so i can boost my wifi signal for my nintendo ds...thanks

[NerdsKrew]

really intelligent idea :) mad props

[lisa113322]

You're an aspie... a really brilliant and creative aspie.

[phreakonacell]

any signal that goes beyond 900 mhz,the spectrum of the signal changes. These are called microwaves.This type of RF energy is different then the average signal coming from 84 to 108 Mhz and khz radio stations.WIFI works much like satellite frequencies.2.4 Ghz is within the "L" band of satellite distribution.parabolic's will spread the microwaves further in a one way direction.Put your router in a parabolic dish and get more range.Inside all wifi routers there is an internal antenna.

[allimason]

KOOL!! I LOVE IT!!

[heardcountybrave]

That was just great bro! It's nice to add some personality to something like this!

[bellinivernon]

Muy bueno ! Gracias ,desde argentina,en el sur .

[Giulifi]

Yo tambien soy de Argentina. Muy buena idea esta, pero cuesta mucho trabajo...

[ObjektEjer]

This is crap!!!

[POSTFUGL]

[215858452845]

[aironman90]

[Flex99923]

DUDE THAT IS FUCKIN AMAZING U MADE THAT WOOW

NICE MUSIC

you could have buyed a 100dbi antenna i have 1 lol but connector doesnt fit unfortunatly

[DarkMission91]

brilliant!!! the antenna quite big too..

[mako74656]

Lego Technic antenna, great stuff... You could go for over kill and attach the wifi dongle to the end of a satellite dish!!!! Great use of lego by the way.

[hugolamo]

Wow!!

Very Cool..

You'r very creative :P

[MongyEFC]

I think u r a legend. genius indeed. i wanna be a genius! *Thought bubbles*.......CDs! AN ANTENNA OF CDs! YAAAAA

[freakintarded]

amazingly clever.....it looks so cool!

[4Brownie4]

genius ^^

[zerogravity121]

why not using a dish ?

[chesedchesed]

well, did you finish watching the vid? I said "cuz I love Lego"

[Macoman87]

Asome! I just used a $5 wok from the trift store and Knex and set it up the same as yours. Works well, but I don't know what material works best for refracting the waves.

[MrHackerz]

DUDE THAT OWNS BUT THE LINKSYS ADAPTER ISNT THE BEST BUT IT WILL DO I LIKE THE ORERNOCO CARDS!!! Great Video i mith make a simular one!!! 5/5

[MrHackerz]

Dude thats friging amazing im going to try to make on out of kanex !!!!! Right on 5/5

[purplemutantas]

RIGHT ON! I love lego. DIY wifi antennas are cool enough as it is (I have built a few of my own). But you score some serious bonus points for using lego. You ROCK!

[daxster35]

Wow the best wifi antenna ive ever seen i want 1

[Borisyoch]

Great inspiring beginning of your video. Our life style indeed changed. Good job chesedchesed!

[cyberjackcyberjack]

WOW thats kool

[mybestskills]

amazing.

[SalvadorVeiga]

how many dBi did you gain with that huge antenna ?

[chesedchesed]

-46dbm

[SalvadorVeiga]

dude just amazing... i'm eaten with jealousy... I want one too...can you give out some prints to build one ? ahaha i suck with legos...good job

[stevewoder]

Thats insane, and awsome!

[TechAnvil]

Man, that is nice. I wish I had legos :)

[chesedchesed]

I'm glad we saved them.. Found them in the basement, untouched in over 8 years or so...
