Hack Day : Boost your Wi-Fi with a beer can

 How to boost your Wi-Fi with a beer can

Each household today uses a wireless router. However, the routers have a specific range for broadcasting the radio signals. Wireless signals are usually affected by a lot of factors—distance, obstacles, power and interferences. While obstacles, power and interferences can be reduced by tweaking things around the house and placing the router appropriately, the wireless range cannot be extended, unless you have a high-end router, or install repeaters and hotspots.
Nevertheless, you can extend your wireless router’s range by a few more meters using a simple hack. The range can be increased by using any simple beer or soda can and you can build the hack within a few minutes. All you need is one or two soda/beer cans and a pair of scissors. Watch the video below on how you can build your simple wireless network range booster, almost for free.
