PRINGLES CAN ANTENNA FOR 2.4 GHz 802.11(Wi-Fi) ?????????
 

Hi Fellas,

Your old buddy Dr. Slick is back again, pleading on his
hands and knees for more sage advice from the masters of
antenna design, YOU GUYS. (well, at least a few of you...
hehe! The rest you have to ignore...)


Ok, so my wireless D-link modem computer is downstairs from
the wireless router, and so the signal is very low using just the
antenna stub that it comes with.

So i found this:

And this Yagi-Uda scaled for 2.4 GHz:

Someone told me that the Yagi-uda wouldn't be as good
as the cantennas, as the later gathers more RF power, being
a type of reflector and such.

Since the Nalley's Big Chunk "Beef Stew" design won,
i think i will try that, with a funnel attached as on this
page:

Any knowledgable advice greatly appreciated.

Corner reflector. Cardboard and tin foil. 15 minutes (if that).

About +15dB gain.

If it works, then you can investigate other (more permanent) solutions if
you like.
