Wifi Cantenna DIY

[princeanon]

Very interesting. Are you trying to show the scenery or a can or what???

[happybunnies182]

so when it rains???????

[Lokivoid]

1. dont just shove a prebuildt and encased antenna into a tube (it does vary little)

2. Ground the cable connection to the antenna (This is why cantennas are made from metal or plated cardboard), With out the ground you just end up with a vary ineffective reflector.

I highly doubt you have a ninehundred yard range with a acceptable RX/TX signal quaility with your current setup. (just being able to see a SSID probe amounts to jack and shit)

[thallium200]

Never seen a cardboard cantenna before. A real signal booster there

[pentium3000]

im sure that shit didnt get at least one signal

[otester]

@pentium3000

Using a satellite dish you can receive WiFi from up to ~125km away (line of sight).

[kool2bniceguy]

wow thank you for telling the step by step procedure on doing it, so informative, i must be so stupid of not getting it! Next time, show us how to do the laundry!

[alwaysopen]

It looks like an Estes rocket.

[jpmorgan187]

thanks for the excellent description!!

Tanta distancia ...puede ser????

2upsiderman - You're funny!

Good grief Mr. Will306, even my grandma would have dubbed something over the horrendous wind noise. Hell, throw some Rick Astley on it. Anything, to make it funny, silly, whatever.

Of course, you could have also explained a little bit about the clip...

[flochekop]

just love single malt man:p

good antenna try making one with parabolic antenna works awesome

[RioKyle98]

Hell you could have said something, you could have also shown us the signal strength before and after. I mean HELLO!

[RioKyle98]

Hell you could have said something, you could have also shown us the signal strength before and after. I mean HELLO!

[griverkelly]

it could work becuase there is nothing around you.. its an open area. the Linksys Router have a 100-120 yards range in an open area. so it could be.

[bbmak1125]

Work? Did u get anything from it?

[000CODE000]

haha u need the fold inside it

[keng612]

ok, and now what?

[homebuiltindoorplane]

did you forget the 'diy' part?

[happyquails]

Why don't you just post your video here? Why do we have to go to "Bebo"?

[homeybrew]

I just wanted to post my chuckle at the 'dry paint' comment.. .heh heh heh

[TheEZhexagon]

i hear birds what is this some kind of nature show?

[nickconfidental]

@TheEZhexagon I seriously ROFL'd at that....

[lordzed09]

looks like a cannon

[dumbcow1]

its a wi-fi cannon XD

[zeeshanasghar43]

first of i wanna tell that english is not my first language so, now the question is can anybody tell me i am using a wireless so for boosting range i made a cantenna and the speed now is 54mbps i want to know that the toppest speed is 54mbps for wireless or more?

[TheSniperofDeath]

100 mbps or more

[MasterMWL]

For 802.11g, without any brand-specific boosters like "SuperG", etc, the limit is 54mbps.

[2upspiderman]

Man that was as informative as watching paint dry.

[N2thedrink]

I LIKE SCOTCH TOO, WHO KNEW

[tiggxtreme]

I'm glad I found this kind of DIY stuff recently. I made two parabolic reflector antennas out of printer paper and aluminum foil, and got an impressive 19 dBi boost on my WRT54GX4.

[cyberjackcyberjack]

did that work at that range ??

[halffulllife]

u must not be so smart

[zeogravity20]

if u use a 2 inch antenna it would be better as the tube would cover almost the whole antenna. ok antennas do not broadcast signals from the tip of the antennas

[mobents]

noes, think of wavelengths

[entendadomitris]

Would lining the inside of a Pringles can with foil give me better results?

[phatjesus008]

oh noes you accedentally the whole bottle of whiskey for wifi!!

[GhostLaughingMan]

??? Why is he sending out a signal ? the blue thing is a wireless router

[McKack]

Ad-Hoc

[yudiwebpersonal]

thats it? what inside the cube, dude? potato chips?

[111hamish111]

Dose anyone know how much it roughly costs to make i think the cord running to the can would be the most.

also dose this work with pc internal wifi thing

umm dlink rangebooster n650

it has 3 external areials

[tomtom21120]

lol ure screwd if it starts to poor down rain

[arjunus]

Thats raid the antenna is on the last 3,1cm off the hole length.

A simple peace off wire inside the plastic tube.

[HermitPenguin]

Yes you can.... you should learn more about electromagnetic waves ass hole

[Bebopspike13]

That would be the optimum, but attaching a can shaped reflector still makes the radiation pattern directional. It's not as efficient as a directional antenna, no, but still. It works.

[drboose]

I've turned many omni-directional antennas into directional antennas. So if it's true, or it isn't true - I've done it. :)

[dyn7773]

wow..! like bazooka..

[anthrounit]

did ya get anything???

[will306]

Had to use my Nokia n95 at the other end to check connectivity (no laptop or anything) but it still managed to pick up the signal and connect. I'll maybe set it up again and take a vid at the "other end" of the signal

[BumbaclotProductions]

@will306 Hey no offense but your video was not clear and the WiFi booster looked like you'd just put a PVC tube in a vice !

[zidane444]

you now what ! go to sleep and dream .

i like the moon exployrare

[00kalm]

And just as hollow?

[Doughnh]

i didnt see the think works

[GreatTurkishEmpire]

idiot moron!

it is not sure to see the metal tube and your home.Show the computer screen idiot embesil

[mytoeismissindarnit]

What?

[KillerVeggies]

Cool. I was gonna build me one of these but using an N Type connector to hold a small arial (about 40mm of copper, 1/4 wavelength) inside the can. I suppose just putting the cantenna over the existing area is a much cheaper and easier alternative.

[Thehawknest]

it may not work as good you may want to use a coffee can compared to the chip container

[KillerVeggies]

The version I am going to build uses a pringles can (based on a uni lab script I got) but I was going to make another using a large soup tin aswell. I'll post a video when I've built both with results on which is best if anyones interested.

[Aleandro25]

Hello!To what distance? Km

[EestiTV]

Description says 900 yards so its 822 meters

thats like LONG distance, would be good

if I could get one working for me :P

[LUK0BA]

That looks rural & Plain no building around. So wouldn't work on many places but have had intel have done it on new technology in 5 miles away using normal wifi.
