WokFi - Wifi Signal Strainer
WokFi - on Instructables
The parabolic Asian cooking(dumpling) strainer
is the perfect candidate for this project.
I was able to pick up 20 more access points
in the city and connect to a network a few blocks away!
This is BY-FAR the most simple of all Wifi extensions!

Have you ever tried to use an old dish network dish as an antenna? Is there anything special? How would you weather proof the electronics?

I got a Dell Laptop with built in WiFi, Is there anyway to increase the range on that? I got a friend that stays about 300 to 350 meters away, and i wana conect to his rooter!

For Dave: I have not, but it seems like that would be cool.
mj: I got it from a asian cooking store. check instructables.
dj: the best way would be to use a repeater, but following my instructions should work great too!

Instructables user Dan Folkes shows us how to take that cheapo USB wifi adapter and boost it’s reciever sensitivity with little more than a dumpling strainer. Speaking of which… I think I want Chinese for dinner tonight. Instructables …
