I had to move my main machine upstairs where I do not have access to network cable so I had to rely on the XPC 802.11b/g Wireless Kit installed on my machine. While all other WiFi enabled devices in my house get 100% signal anywhere in the house, this XPC kit happened to be the worst receiver out of them all. Even my Nokia E63 picks the signal at 100%.

So! I had to find a way to go around this low signal problem. I knew of a few available options and this would would involve purchase of either a WiFi Range Extender or a Pass-through Powerline Adapter. The latter looked specifically promising and that is what I will resort to when I have more currencies in future I knew I had to find something very cheap or even better free. So I googled for “wifi signal boost” and it found me this interesting link about DIY WiFi extender. The ideas was really simple, all that these guys did was to created a little parabola out of tin foil and mounted in on router’s areal.

I created my version of the parabola, which while was making a difference and giving a very slight performance boost it was definitely not enough. I tried to fiddle with antenna angle and router positioning but to no prevail. As a last resort I just took my tin foil parabola, straightened it back into a flat sheet and placed it under the router and guess what! I got nearly 10% 20% signal boost. How impressive is that??!!

Hope this helps somebody.
