This does not work unfortunately.

@omerocelikkol Well, it did result in stabilizing the wireless connection to my media PC... sometimes there's a signal boost and sometimes, like in my case, it merely solved my packet loss and connection drop issues.

Does the aluminum foil have to be smooth in order to get a proper reflection?

@lynn77581 Smoother foil should work better; however, I'm not sure how much of a noticable performance difference there would really be between smooth foil and foil with a few small creases and wrinkles.

lol you did it wrong, the tin foil is the other way

@vietsoul2 If you feel that's the case, then I invite you to review the designer's instructions as well as assembly tutorials from others (like Revision3's Systm, for example). I'm sure you'll find them to be the same. Additionally, from a functional standpoint, it doesn't matter which side of the parabola the aluminum foil is attached to, aside from attachment to the inside possibly causing performance-altering deformation of the foil (crunch rather than stretch).
