You didn't boost your signal, you simply redirected it. *sigh*

MegaBITS, not megabytes. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Bothers me to no end.

-little "b" in Mbps = megaBITS /sec

-big "B" in MBps = megaBYTES /sec

This is awesome. Waaay better than spending $75 bucks on a wifi range extender (which i have that works great) you could also put copper coils around the wifi card on that desktop u hav and it would help to this is only good on desktops and older models since the wifi card has an antenna on the outside. This would also b good on a x360 cuz it has the antenna sticking out

@alamoghost youre an idiot

[RuggerDucky]

@alamoghost No, it can't. It results only in redirected signal---which can increase the range in a particular direction. It does not boost (amplify) the signal. The signal is not increased, it simply changes the directional range.

@RuggerDucky Proper redirection can result in increased (boosted) signal. *sigh*

b = bits, B = Bytes.... Big difference.

@MrExillion all kinds of metals reflect magnetic fields.

Boosting a signal requires a signal amp with its own power source bidirectional, it comes mostly in 2.4Ghz generally, but there are 5Ghz versions. You just created a poor-man's backfire antenna, which basically takes the stray signals from the omni-directional antenna and reflects it towards your laptop, thus increasing signal efficiency. You just increase signal efficiency, not boosted signal strength. Oh btw, there are 8 bits in a 1 byte, therefore your 54Mbit/s is really only 6.75MByte/s.

@MrExillion the aluminum has to be what 1 foot thick?`......the frequenzy.... well i suppose it is possible, try use a microwave with Aluminum inside it.... Happy NewYear!
