If only we’d known this sooner
If your WiFi signal is weak, this can be a reason for much frustration. It’s annoying when you’re trying to find something on the internet, download pictures or stream a movie only to realise your internet is too slow to do so. You could buy a WiFi extender, but these can be quite expensive. And why would you, when making one yourself is cheap and easy to do!
Bad signal
Even though we are blessed with having WiFi nearly everywhere, the quality of said signals isn’t always top notch. Whether the signal is good enough on your device, depends on your location and distance to the WiFi router. If the quality of your WiFi is lacking and you don’t want to buy an expensive extender, try out the following trick!
Do you desperately desire a fast internet connection and a strong WiFi signal? Don’t run off to the store to to buy expensive gadgets. There’s a much cheaper way to boost your WiFi signal if it could do with an improvement. The video below shows someone using an empty beer can to make a WiFi booster in only two minutes. He also shows us the trick really does work! All you need is a pair of scissors and an empty (clean!) beer (or fizzy drink) can. Watch the instructions in the video below!
This is how you can make your very own WiFi extender. Make sure the can you’re using is dry and clean. Take off the can tab and cut off the underside of the can. Then start cutting off the top, but don’t cut it all the way. Cut the can along the side so you can open it up completely. Put the top of the can over one of the antennas of your router as shown in the video. Repeat with the other extender. The aluminium will extend your wifi signal
