Getting a wifi antenna from pringles tube (DIY Cantenna)

[random28152]

2:06 : I agree Patrick... they are a mess to bitch.

[aslan4me]

Too much damn yapping and it is aggravating to listen too.

[drv30]

these assholes suck.

[TheDEFproductions]

240p we meet again

[ObiTrev]

RIP Tech TV

[faxmanloveswaffles]

lol guy on right from revision3.

[N101RG]

You two dumbasses are about as informative as my hunting dog. You talk about this and that but at the same time there is not enough information to build one from your stupid ass exchanges of wit. Don't quit your day jobs.

[fuckcomments]

@N101RG haha orrrr you are too dumb to just look at the device and understand how it works, like everyone else, but you do have hunting dogs..

[ResidentG33k]

Tech TV arent the good old days... Doesn't anyone remember ZDTV? That was BEFORE Tech TV took over.

[OneBluesAvenue]

the guy in the green shirt talks over the other guy when hes explaining how to make the antenna.

[sgtpepper1138]

@OneBluesAvenue Leo always was, and IS kind of a douche. Patrick Norton is a cool guy who I always enjoy. He's on Tekzilla now.

[jpmorgan187]

STFU Leo!

[MrUtoobtroll]

@2:05 Did Patrick just say bitch on TechTV? Awesome!

[AudiophileTubes]

Regarding stealing WiFi, anytime you turn on a laptop that has WiFi (most do), and you are connected to a WiFi node (most are in a typical neighborhood with several unsecured nodes), you are NOT stealing a signal. Many people will be connected to such unsecured networks without actually using the node. Does the FCC consider this a violation? I think not.

[AudiophileTubes]

Commercial WiFi yagi antennas do not cost several hundred dollars, like these guys claim they do! You can find them online for anywhere from 25 to 100 dollars (most of them). And the performance will blow away this Pringle's can contraption.

[Doogledude123]

Thumbs Up if you want Call for Help back!

[badsaddamdotnet]

im so glad i got to listen to your inside jokes.

[ArkofStrophanthus]

I miss this show

[rogerdpack]

part 2?

[studcake69]

That guy in the green shirt makes me mad, he won't shut up!

[expressit101]

LMFAO... So i take it someone's holding a gun to all you complaining douche's head's every time you watch this video. Its you fags that are making this world a shit hole, your better off climbing a wall of dick's, using only your mouth & asshole. Im just saying ~

[OleeeeWrestlinForum]

Good

[paulfranke]

get to the damn point. I thought I had Attention Deficit Disorder! Can't believe they had their own show

[ferdna1]

thescreensavers com is down.

[Joni0001984]

@ferdna1

The FCC got to them. LOL

[mubarakel7omar]

what is the name of the connector that connects the antenna with the laptop?

[mannys9130]

mubarake,

The connector that you should use on the cantenna is an N connector. I am not sure what connector you will need to put on the other end of the cable is to connect to your laptop card, it depends.

You should have the cantenna with a femail N, a LOW loss cable like LMR-400 with an N male on one end and whatever connecter you need to connect it to your laptop card.

N femal:Nmale:cable:lap. card connector:laptop card.

He is right about the cable loss!

FUCK YOU G4 FOR RUINING TECHTV YOU GREEDY SELLOUT CLUELESS CUNTS. FUCK YOU TO YOUR VERY SOULS, OR THE SPACES WHERE YOUR SOULS ONCE EXISTED YOU CHEAP SHITCUNTS.

Sincerely.

[spydog97]

PRINGLESS? REALLY?

[meleniumshane90]

Why waste $1,000

Google search "satellite dish antenna"

You can get 200 miles out of that; 50 if you aren't in the jungles of Brazil

[drboose]

That is absolutely not 5 miles on one side. It will be 5 miles if both sides have one. Id call these chimps noobs, but surprisingly they arn't.

[Pankomputerek]

so divide by 2 which is 2.5 miles :]

[drboose]

he didn't say that in the video, he said it was one ended. ;D

[HeeFuLL]

god stop talking just tell me how to make it. they waste like 3 minutes

[ballm0use]

yea pisses me off too. lets rate it low.

[PivotPlat]

thank you for that comment :L now if only they would listen.

[Burner2K0]

5miles? SOB!!!!

[45009234]

I want to figure out how to use my grandparent's tower antenna to extend my router's range :)

[razor005]

lol you have to somehow tap into what gets put into the tower and then input your own wifi signal to do that.

[BFKAnthony817]

Haha man, My grandparents have an old CB radio antenna also thats like 30 feet high! We use it for a lightning rod on the house haha. I wonder, can I use that bad boy to brodcast my wifi!?

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

nup, wrong wave length and everything.

[lisn92]

why would u want to braod cast ur wifi? maybe use it as a wifi reciever but not broadcasting lol

[MosesInTheFlesh]

because you can't connect to a wifi signal without broadcasting it?!

[lisn92]

@MosesInTheFlesh no braodcasting a wifi signal that other people can connect to isnt what u use a wifi antena for, u use the antena to connect to a signal that some one is broadcasting

[griffinism]

cam i just take an ethernet cable, plug it in and strip the other end, connect it to a antenna like piece of aluminum foil and stick it into a can?

[gccengineering1996]

Most pringles cans are made of cardboard not out of metal like the Maxwell House coffee cans. Cardboard is more of an insulator than a conductor for microwave signals.

[crackahcrackah]

Ok rather than build suspense or make it look like I'm ducking the issue I've skipped crashing to provide citations. Law is extremely convoluted and until one sits and examines numerous section definitions it may not become clear that one has been hoodwinked on a # of issues. 47 USC Sec. 151 dictates PURPOSE.

TITLE 47 > CHAPTER 5 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 153 (40&51) define State & United States. Most people conflate lay terms with legal BS. Lawyers = vile creatures. 50 States ain't cited eh? =P

[boricuapapi34]

hey does a wireless trendnet 424ub does it work because i want to know how can i improve my signal with that wireless trendnet 424 ub

[engeljakob]

jeez i miss techtv

[crackahcrackah]

FCC doesn't have any jurisdiction over signals solely within States or non commerce signals between States. Read the statutes if you're going to talk about them.

[geeflyboy]

"FCC doesn't have any jurisdiction over signals"

I know the FCC regs and YOU are very WRONG. The FCC regulations control all transmission accidental or intentional. Enforcement is another issue. You may get away with it. Violations are rare. If you do get caught, the fines and penalties, including Jail are substantial. A guy in Florida went to jail for FCC violations.

If you use the coffee can antenna to steal signals or do anything criminal, that is another deal, criminal law kicks in.

[crackahcrackah]

Actually I'm VERY right. The contextual components of law regulating the FCC clearly indicate the jurisdiction. If signals are transmitted outside of the declared geographical jurisdiction then they have NO AUTHORITY. If signals are transmitted within their geographical jurisdiction then they must be USED IN COMMERCE before the FCC has jurisdiction. You sound like some thug in law enforcement. Biggest gang in the world right?

[geeflyboy]

SHOW ME THE REGULATION? DARE YOU

I'm a Ham & operate commercial radios from HF, VHF, Microwave & SatCom all over the world. The rules are simple, NO.

USA, if you have a radio transmitter, intentional or unintentional making RF/EMF of ANY POWER, the FCC, has jurisdiction.

100mw or less, inside your 4 wall, no complaints, no foul no problem, fine. A complaint, antenna too high, add power or steal signals, you're in violation I guarantee 100%. Get caught penalties are harsh. Ask a lawyer.

[crackahcrackah]

I'll post the codes within the week when time permits. You could have posted them yourself since you claim to know them but instead you've merely made more claims and shifted the burden to me. I'll go through my notes and the code and respond here so others can go look at the specific sections rather than wade through the code.

[crackahcrackah]

TITLE 47 > CHAPTER 5 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 153

(40) State

The term State includes the District of Columbia and the Territories and possessions.

(51) United States

The term United States means the several States and Territories, the District of Columbia, and the possessions of the United States, but does not include the Canal Zone.

State was custom defined to sucker people into thinking the 50 States as in the following code:

TITLE 49 > SUBTITLE IV > PART B > CHAPTER 131 > § 13102 (21)

[hollowbankai123]

2:06 lmao!

[naykon1]

that guy in the green shirts a complete twat, i wish he'd stfu! might actually learn something

[SaintsRow2Stunter]

would this work for example with a wireless camera? with reciever and transmitter?

[PLISKEN12]

man just get straight to the point. too much unneccesary words. how do u connect the stuff to a wireless card. after all that u guys werent very clear. what are the exact connections on the can ?

KEEP IT SIMPLE so more people can benefit.

[XxKungfuholicxX]

The connector on the can is a "N" female connector. The cable that will run from the can to your wireless card(if it has a removable antenna) or to your router will have a "N male " connector- to connect to the can and at the other end will be most likely RP SMB or RP TNC (just Google them), depends on your router/card/adapter. Should use low loss Wifi coax cable, like LMR-400(not regular TV coax cable), and as short as possible for maximum gain.

[tiggxtreme]

A parabolic reflector will do fine for simple home use. I made two 6 inch reflectors for my router out of household materials that give me a combined 24dB of boost.

[afrohorse3]

lol.....to much work..

[Jangaboo]

i miss this show

[Survivalist2theEnd]

Me too...I only understood about 1/10th of the stuff they covered but they made it very entertaining.

[tediouse]

it would be better if there was just one guy ?

[ambucias]

defenatly!!! the eating guy is useless, he only piss me off!! =)

[guschaos]

i want to hear whut that guy says but god the other one wont shut up

[michecaballe]

I need help guys how can I increase my wireless laptop wi fi signal ?, I live about 150 to 160 yards's from the hotzone signal and no I don't need a router thank's any recommendation's ?.

[slacker125]

dont even bother i got an antenna like that for 25 bucks at the flea market and it sucks but it is supposed to go 3 miles

[kjexz]

you get what you pay for...

[judahbabuda]

5 miles... damn

isint that illegal thogh?

[DawnValorum]

It'd be funny if someone made such a strong wifi signal that it started messing with pacemakers and traffic lights:)

[warpuppyTN70]

HAHAHA or shut down the powergrid leaving US in complete chaos!

[dxchitoh]

ima steaal that thing if i see it

[djkallem]

loada shit

[kg4yvw]

YEP!!!

[danielmpr]

Yeah G4 just show more OLD ass crap, I miss it when it used to b TechTV!

[amri250593]

what the cable on 4.24 called? how much is it the cheapest ?

[hd666]

do tv in the same way

[wilson777666]

how many kilometers does it works?

[xaxim2006]

2 or 3 aprox.

[linkinmylog]

what the fuck! is a mess to bitch?

[krazyMaz]

lol innit wtf is that

[picturethief]

wokfi is way better

[theroymeister]

the other thing about pringles can antennaes is that their kind of a mess to bitch

lol

[arkano01]

ooohh i miss those beautiful days of tech TV, good old days!!!

[TNFlightNurse]

@arkano01 I remember when it was the beautiful days of ZDTV.

[TheOmnipotentidiot]

@TNFlightNurse before it crapped out something called G4TV. I missed Kevin Rose's "Dark Rose" hacks.

[rocketlauncher2001]

awesome ! I enjoyed watching, 5/5 !

[rileyisnt]

where do i get N connectors?

[UglyMaleee]

Electronic shop

[peeboner]

google hyperlink technologies

[MrDurr2011]

Connect your house to a house a few miles away? Unbelievable, I think so...I made a pringles can one. It didnt work to good. I mean it connected but it looked bad.

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

It's illegal in the US??? What a fucked up country! Everything is forbidden damn! It's the people's responsability to protect their network... If it's open it's open...

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

they say bullshit about the cable... What they really need is a cable of the same impedance of the air and the network card... A coaxial cable can be ok if it is at the same impedance....

[brad450]

heey leo laport man i miss that show

[pmd456]

5 miles is bullshit , i would say 1 mile max for

2.4 ghz with that antenna.

[jyrkij]

No bullshit at all if it is a visible line. I got 3km behind some trees!

[pmd456]

ok maybe when its a countryside with no interference, but in a city of toronto where im

at there are thousands and thousands of access points , plus cordless phones and a lot of wireless activity Im sure its much less than 3 km.

[rsxhitman]

well with clear area it could do 5 miles with no obstruction, its 400 dollars for a reason

too bad they took this show off and fuked that whole channel up

[pmd456]

true but in a city with lots of interference

its much less.

[font21]

Dude it's TV. You NEED some one who is "the light side" to balance the "information." You need to keep the attention of the idiots who don't really care what's on. They just want something funny.

But, I like Leo LaPort. I'll forgive him for being Canadian, tho.

[DJDirtyDishes]

yeah that guy deserves to be shot.

[vinamel97]

the stupid old fart keeps interrupting

so i wasn't able to follow. get rid of that old fart!!!!!

[jmagish]

That guy on the left wrecked everything with his vain stupid self absorbed nature, I liked the guy on the right, he was really nice and unpretensous, there its said

[webhiway]

Er uh it won't work worth a shit without the proper math, the piece of wire need to be approx 1/4 wavelength of 2.4Ghz (around 32mm w/velocity factor) and 1/2 wavelength from the back of the can. These are just guesstimates and it should be tuned on a network analyzer for minimum return loss (SWR)

[tsuru1]

The old asshole keeps interupting !

[tehzeebs]

lol

lol

[yetanotheraccount2re]

They know what they're talking about, but they talk over each other and I can't listen. Didn't your mom teach you not to interrupt

[oneeye4331]

i love it lol

[postadelmaga]

ok wifi radiation are not good as well cpu radiation are not good ...

but most important ... remember mobile phone and i bet everybody here have one.

So enjoy the silence and stop spread shit.

that is just a way to don't' spend money and have an aplimfier of signial: no more radiation just a catalazzer to get weak signal.

[tonyrosam]

do you really think that wifi is as dangerous as radiation from microwaves??? dont you think that the horrors of lab animal testing wouldve shown signs of ill effects at the level normal humans encounter?? IDIOTS!!!

[jespo26]

your from buffalo

[jakeheataolcom]

ok well if your trying to get better wifi signal look at the wind surfer antenajust type in how to make a wifi extender at the youtube search bar and it shows you how to make one they are a lot easier

[terminado]

Me hablaron de no se que antena preingles pense que era un modelo de antena pero se trata de las autenticas pringels XDDDD

[factsnow]

Cows and other Animals HAVE died... Radiate the Community THATS an idea, too late, been done already - by the cell phone industry... So ya, encouraging people to try it themselves, the industry seems to not understand what they are doing, so how would an amateur know what they are doing. WIFI is MICROWAVE RADIATION - its deadly stuff people

[kingbiff18]

wow, did you know, microwave radiation is only deadly above a certain frequency... wifi is below that freq.

[factsnow]

WIFI operates at a frequency of 2.45 GHz, which means transmitters send out radio waves at 2,450,000,000 cycles per second. This is the same frequency at which microwave ovens operate. This frequency cookis food as it was discovered that 2.45 GHz uniquely excites water molecules to such an extent that it causes them to heat. This is called the thermal effect of radio frequency (RF) radiation. - check out the video RADAR RANGE and the facts at Radiation Research dot org

[vb6041]

Actually guys, even if it is the same frequency it's only radiating 0.150 watts or so. That's right, 150mW. A microwave oven is between 700 and 2500 watts. People use up to 5 watts output on hf handheld radios.

[xxbatmanxx91]

all three of the above comments are right. haha thats funny. they seem to contradict, but they they all work together. the fagsnow guy just knows a part of what hes talking about.

[factsnow]

facts quoted scientists around the world

[xxbatmanxx91]

screw you black nigger

[shredtheibanez]

this is the21st century..live with it... Wifi :)ownes one of the best inventions since the spork :)

[happysgrewal]

i need a help on making one of these could anyone help me on this one. thanks
