Kitchen Strainer WIFI Range Extender

intro Uni-Directional WIFI Range Extender
Easily receive WIFI signals from far away using a standard USB WIFI adaptor and a bit of ingenuity. This Simple idea requires no modifications to a USB WIFI adaptor or your computer. A simple way to increase the signal strength and range of your WIFI. Plus it works with all USB WIFI adaptors. So you can use your neighbours wifi connection for free .

step 1 Tools and Parts Needed
You need only a few parts for this project and they all are pretty cheap except for the USB WIFI adaptor. But even they only cost around £10 now.

1 - Metal Strainer/Steamer
1 - USB WIFI Adaptor
1 - USB Extension Cable (about 10ft long)
½” Drill Bit , Glue
2 - Tie wraps

step 2 Drilling the Strainer
Remove the Center Post (If your's had one) and drill a 1/2" hole as that is perfect size to fit the usb extention.

step 3 Glue and Tie Wrap

Insert the Female end of the USB extention (the part that doesnt connect to your computer) into the hole you just drilled.
Then just apply the glue and let it sit for 24 hours. This Creates a strong bond between the plastic and metal. I used some tape to help hold the connecter in place while the glue cured. Be sure to apply glue to both sides of the connecter. Once thats dry the next day, tie wrap 2 of the metal "ears" so they wont fold in on themselves when you use it.

step 4 Finish
Just plug the USB WIFI adaptor into the socket on the dish and plug the other end into your computer. Enjoy boosted signal strength and improved distance. Fire up Netstumber or Kismet to really see the gain in power. This works even better than I thought it would. Be sure to leave your comments on how well it worked.
