Due to the construction of the walls of each room, probably in your home the sign of Wifi is not what you expect, harming access to social networks and streaming platforms. Here the problem is not the router, but we can take this object as a starting point to improve WiFi signal. For this task, we will need a can of soda.
Engineers assure that the soda cans They have the ability to redirect and amplify the signal in the desired direction. Therefore, we will take advantage of the material to make a homemade antenna that will considerably improve the wifi signal.
Use a can to improve WiFi signal
Materials
- 1 empty and clean soda can.
- 1 scissors.
- Tape.
- A marker.
Procedure
- Clean the can of soda and with the scissors cut the top and bottom of the can to create a cylinder open at both ends.
- Next, make a longitudinal cut in the cylinder to turn it into a flat sheet of metal.
- The third step will be to use a marker to draw an antenna shape on the metal sheet (you can opt for a rectangular or triangular shape, making sure it acts as a signal reflector).
- Cut out the marked shape on the can of sodaleaving the edges clean and smooth.
- Use tape to attach the homemade antenna to the router, pointing in the desired direction.
- Align the antenna can of soda so that it points towards the area where we want improve WiFi signal.
- The signal will be reflected and amplified in that direction.
In this way, you can improve the wifi signal inside the house thanks to a homemade antenna made with a can of soda. Engineers assure that this trick only works for a specific direction, not for the entire home, so it is essential to adjust the orientation of the can according to our needs.
