How To Boost Wi-Fi Range With A Homemade Parabolic Reflector

[THE1DUDEZ]

I tested it out, and then i tried with a bunch of other materials, and realized that it would work a lot better if you stick the aluminium foil in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Put the foil in before you start to fold it. Good luck!

[noaddrag]

You guys know you can put foil in the microwave, right? As long as its not close to a side, all it does is make a light show. Don't believe me? Mythbusters tested it

[SaifChohan4u]

hey... this probably didnt work 4 me.

i do not hav antena on my wifi and what to do if i want to increase the signal vertically.

ie. wifi is on floor 3 and i want to use it on floor 2.

please help!!

[andreiek2007]

enjoy the radiation and its side effects!

[scorilez]

i tried this too and it works. I have more wireless networks, the signal is stronger

[ChicoPear]

does this mean if you put it near the computer just like in the video but backwards the computer will receive signals better? Because it seems to work for me (it could just be my imagination)

[SemiazasxXx]

Is it supposed to be facing on the shiny side?

[wilmarmol]

And what if the distance is like 10 meter, between thick cement walls :P?

[H4seeb]

Guys, I'm not even joking, This thing is craaaazy and it WORKS 100%. Just make sure it's the correct size and it fits ALL THE WAY ROUND your router when your making the (bend) curve in it. Thumbs up so everyone can see good feedback from a positive YouTube User and that has experience..! THUMBS UP, so everyone can see ;-)

[psiddhant]

could anybody help plz

i did this , but even after that , the signal is same

i pasted foil on cardboard sheet , then kept that cardboard sheet behind the modem (didn't work) help

[jizzmop]

elmer's glued this to a manilla folder and put behind my router. made another one and put it behind my usb wifi. went from 2mbps to 54mbps. same three bar signal, but who cares!? thanks

[uberninja228]

nice it worked... ghetto though

[TheJoeytastic]

Who puts foil in microwaves????

[beyonbeach]

Is it okay to get foil paper from my mom and do you think i get grounded?

[Aminder7]

@beyonbeach

No, you didn't follow the steps. It wont work. You have to spend 25 cents and have your OWN foil. =/ good luck though.

[techbeast34]

@gangster4491 Making a new user name from Richboyyy330 is not going to work. And even if you were some one different, I was not being racist because he clearly was trying to imitate a black guy. If anybody is racist, it is probably you because you could be white an you too, are trying to be black by using improper spelling and grammar. Thus, you are calling black people dumb.

[carldavies1234]

might try it tomoz.. fingers crossed.

[TheSoonerfan444]

What if its not my wireless router?(heh heh)

[vassu94]

THANKS

[aayush10001]

it wont work.even if it does,the results wont be noticed.so pop open your wifi receiver.you will see a solder antena.a solder antena is basically something that is just some lines of soldering to receive the signals.take a small peice of copper wire.and solder it to that antena.make sure to remove the enamel.then pop back the cover and youre done!.this think will work.a parabolic dish made from tin foil??tinfoil absorbs such high frequency signals.DUH!

[techbeast34]

@richboyyy330 Please use proper grammar and please don't act like your black when you are white.

[gangster4491]

@techbeast34 u r racist pussy go suck u ma

[13r0thm4g3]

@gangster4491 lol he wasnt racist, if he said stop being a stupid nigger, THEN that would have been racist

[whoaturbo]

A Festivus Miracle! I've been trying to increase my router strength to my pool. With this fancy trick I went from not even seeing my signal to 2 bars. Thanks a lot.

[mexflystudios]

i did thiis with my xbox modem and it worked!!!

[richboyyy330]

half yall niggas talkin bout it messed up ur signal even more ONE THING!!!!!!!!! HOW TO FUCK CAN FOIL MESS UP UR COMPUTER HUH HUH THE FUCK

[VinDubDiesel]

yo man, i tried this shit and it fucked up my signal even more.

[aleXzoM1]

Hahahahahaha nice. thx man!!!!!

[edytzuUndercover]

[Costas1998]

thn my guitar and microwave is better and computer signal thn a lot

[JonasLarsenErGud]

Loving the music.

[idonwannadohomework]

@victorextreme5000 you put the alluminum foil around the antenna on your router to deflect the signal more strongly

[godofzim2875]

lmfao people acutally tried putting their foil in their foil in the mircrowave? fucking dumbass's lmfao

[WatchPlayDownload]

@godofzim2875 I know aye :P

[capj4zombieglitcher]

[IWPRO]

[w0to]

@godofzim2875

[ThisisAliFareedshow]

@godofzim2875 Wrong Video Dude

[digidante]

Totally worked boosting the signal for my PS3 and computer. Ha. I may be screwing over everyone else in the house, but shit it works.

[VictorEXTREME5000]

I have a question, my PC has an antenna to receive the wi-fi, so should I put the foil in antenna of the router or in the antenna of my PC?

[DeanBenjamin1990]

It works.. I'm inpressed. :)

[partytime0]

umm my router dosent have a antana

[poqbum]

@partytime0 It does it's probably just internal. Do the same thing should work :p

[dominovik]

This works lol. thanks

[FunniestStuffEver]

Thnx so much!!! This really works!!! You are freaking awesome dude!!!

[Ccano420]

LMAO! NEVER put any type of metal in microwaves..should be common sense

[monkeysdman1]

what the hell? my microwave exploded?!?!?!? i hate you...

[monkeysdman1]

lmao that is awesome dude. im gonna try the microwave thingie. see if it works.

[MisterSnowman97]

I think I have that desk

[Kingthug25]

shit this is easy to do i did it in 1min

[Kingnothing8585]

What if my router has an internal antenna?

[lukemann100]

@Kingnothing8585 should work the same.

[themonkeyv1]

Cool will try later

[Clos111888]

If U actually put the foil in the microwave you are fuckin retarded

[airsoft622]

@Clos111888 shhhh

[ghostllunall]

@Clos111888 lol haha i tried it lol jk jk thumbs up

[jedwells2]

I would do it if the video would finally load

[coyotzi1996]

how do u make this work with no attena

[flippaz]

wow..really worked. signal went from 2 bars to 5 bars!

[CrazySourcePlayer]

wow this works, my room used to be a dead spot but now i actually get 2-3 bars without any problem

[HotRod11686]

Wow. I just tried this right now and guess what. IT WORKS! I made a hole in the middle and then placed it half way on the antenna, kinda like a satellite dish and my signal signal went from 2 bars to 3 solid bars but at 24mbps which is REALLLY fast compared to 1mbps. Which is a HUGE difference.

Awesome video! Kudos!

[silasdkdkdk]

This worked for me!!! i had 1/5 connection.. and after i made this i got 4/5 connection!!! i subscribe to you now!! and make my frinds subscribe TOO!!

[jeremyfinch]

ALL OF THESE "how to boost" videos seem to be ridiculed to death....would someone who KNOWS tell me if this is really worth my time to do? my signal strength is PATHETIC. ANY non-sarcastic tips would be greatly appreciated. WHOEVER sends the most successful advice on boosting my wifi strength will get a list of my FAVORITE youtube videos...will make the RWJ=3 show seem WEAK SAUCE in comparison! (seriously, i have the BEST list!!) THANKS PPL...i KNOW you'll help me!

[antiunis]

im connected by cable so this wouldnt work :DD

[AGazaMiSeh]

I'm doing this shit today, and stored it at the window. But I'm going to do it with soda can and also this.

[mariostar19197]

isnt it always a rectangle when u cut foilpaper?

[NickMageeTV]

@mariostar19197 it can also be a square.

[clubpenguinmaster66]

Does putting foil on the antennas really boost the signal and is it that great of a difference or just recommended for people who are having weak signals?

[coyotzi1996]

@clubpenguinmaster66 yes

[fullmoon4399]

what r the scissors for?

[carlosyt2]

ohhhh snap! this actually works... =b, it definitely doubled the signal of my cheap 25 dorrar router =D

[Vampireknight1131]

I just bought a router do I need a modem to access the internet on my laptop or can i just turn it the router on and il work automatically

[ubtrolling]

this rlly work?

[richardarichter123]

cool stuff

[LUMfulmetal]

does this help if your bars are full?

[minored360]

i love you

[maskmanist]

fricken awesome dude



[wwelh4]

@airsoft622 good one u owe me a new microwave/jk

[callumandhary]

@airsoft622 how long do u put it in for xD

[airsoft622]

@callumandhary umm about 10-15 seconds should be enough to ruin your microwave....err i mean boost your wifi range

[eduardokucharsky]

@airsoft622 Isn´t just wrong to do that?, I mean, it does sound like the kind of thing that really could fuck up you microwave.

[airsoft622]

@eduardokucharsky It actually works. Try it

[NickMageeTV]

@airsoft622 ill try it.

[ThatWierdWhiteKid]

@airsoft622 Thanks to you MY brother exploded our microwave.

[airsoft622]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid lmao

[MrRandomxxxx]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid now...why the fuck would he do that....did he never here by some parent that you don't put metal in a microwave.

[rebmoe]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid o its k iknow it was u dont blame ur brother

[davey71795]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid what a dumbass!!

[elliotb92]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid tbh it was probably more your brothers fault that his

[w0to]

@ThatWierdWhiteKid

how?

[ValentineCrescent]

@airsoft622 evil...

[coordinatorm710]

@airsoft622 i almost did it till i researched it :|.

[Gh0st559]

@airsoft622 my whole family died in a house fire thanks to you,,,,even my dog didnt make it out

[airsoft622]

@Gh0st559 lmao that hilarious... not that your family died but that you were stupid enough to try it

[Gh0st559]

@airsoft622 i was jk

[Pointerous]

@airsoft622 we arnt gullible we all know the foil will blow up the microwave

[lilbeckham80]

@Pointerous he knows this because he just tried it

[nicholasw12]

@airsoft622 thats a bad ldea

[airsoft622]

@nicholasw12 why?

[dobbyspickle]

@airsoft622 yea but if u microwave the foil yr microwave might f up

[drumguyrobc]

@dobbyspickle You think?

[GamerMaster2041]

@airsoft622 Only the fool would put foil in the microwave.

Microwaves are actually photos.

Since only Gamarays can go trough aluminium.

You get the point.

BTw alot of stupid people around here.

[F8THSPKS]

My son came across this video and it really works....our signal strength spiked from two bars to four...Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[larry4mersino]

that was a good idea

[GamerElemental]

Thanks man you got me from one bar. Could barely use the internet let alone game with it, which is what i mostly use my computer for, to 3 which is workable. Would prefer at least four bars, but it's staying at three and not moving. I will try and mess with it more to see if i can boost it a little bit. Oh and putting the foil next to my computer doesn't help at all. It was better at the router. Thanks though.

[LUMfulmetal]

@GamerElemental i think he meant put foil next to the router AND the computer. You know, so that signal that passes your computer bounces right back, but idk.

[LostpkzReklame]

soooo bull

[redboypivot12]

ROFL

This is a funny story: It's not like it wasn't working before, but I just did that just for kicks, and it's already running ten times faster than it already was, and it was pretty fast back then.

THANKS!!!

[Alick12]

dude mine doesnt have an antenna

[stopwhining1]

what if i wrap the antennas with foil? I want the signal to be extended, but not in any general direction

[thethirdbro]

@stopwhining1

The foil doesn't amplify it, only focuses it in the direction the parabola is pointing

[Sebe1337]

wifi signal has nothing to do with download speed, unless you have no signal at all.

[stmo99]

nice work man, I haven't tried this because my internet is awesome.

i might tell STMO about it though...

im just a friend using his acc

i only got to this video by watching the smokebombs video

[papesjr]

@SaybeHD it reflects the radio waves the other direction.

[chickenpoper]

i have 4 bars and im 50 feet away from my router and i use absolutley no outside formations like this one

[PoopKing1]

Buddy that is fucking awesome. It works

[etnies0110]

lol i did this and put it behind my xbox 360 wireless router and now i can steal my neighbors internet =D

[UNDEROATH527]

@etnies0110 hi I'm a police officer investigating the illegal use of unpaid internet connections. I'm going to need your state, city, and address. If you don't give me your information i will have to fine you. thanks :)

[etnies0110]

@UNDEROATH527 i have my own internet =/ you arent a cop i was simply making a joke.............if i didnt have my own internet how would i be on lol

[micknamer]

@etnies0110 witch 360 ? the 360s it works on it / hope it does

[funnyvideosforlive]

i have n wireless !

[funnyoshi123]

awsome that worked good thx!

[RemixReplayRewind]

@DarkAssassin181 Nope,The Signal Strength is distributed from the Router,not the ps3.

Meaning you can only boost the connection fi you do this to your modem.

you can also do this to your xbox 360 router.

[taronmcgee]

shit 45% to 72 % thax man

[fewtcher]

Yahoo, it works! Thanks! (sun)

[TheMasterRCH]

:D awesome! thanks for sharing!

[skillzgroup]

uh thats really cool but what about radiation 0_0 jk awsome

[john1093TIK]

i think this will works but i dont need it...

[deathpiglet1511]

ha lol do americans always say aloominum for aluminium or is it just him

[deadlymassacre1]

@deathpiglet1511 that is how it is pronounced :\

[1guitarfreak4]

@deathpiglet1511 yea, everyone says it that way

[malus97]

gonna try



[xinzark]

THank you ! It works great !! You save my life ^^

[TheSpiXeL]

What to do if I have just lap top with wireless card?? To put tin foil around lap top??

[MacReligion]

@TheSpiXeL A wireless card connects to a router, put the foil round the router.

[TheSpiXeL]

@MacReligion There's one problem...I don't have router I'm stealing wireless signal from my neighbour lol

[alan2320]

NIceeeeeee

[abaddon41808]

This actually works. Before I used it I couldn't get reception on my laptop (~50 away from router) but now I get 6Mbps

It
