Groovy Baby

My router has been with me for the better part of college, work and now law school. Lately, it's been a little miffed by Atlanta weather and refuses to send stable signals to even 10 ft away.

Here's my original solution which didn't work at all...

Notice the lack of elevation and parabola surface for amplifying the signal. After some research I came up with this.

I made this signal booster out of foam (on sale for 50 cents) and lots of aluminum foil...and all the text books that the bookstore refuse to buy back....Now I enjoy 5 bars ( up from the 3 or the occasional 2)  in my living room. Just in time for Diablo III!
