Wrap aluminium foil around the antenna. Yes this really does work. After reading about what you can do to get a stronger signal, I wrapped the aluminium foil around the router and I am amazed at the results. My internet connection through the tv to watch Youtube, which is some distance from the tv, is now so much stronger, no longer do I see the 'circle' going round and round because of a weak signal. Even my laptop and ipad which I use outside has benefited from this foil. Amazing, plus it also prolongs battery use , etc,etc,
How does this work?
This works by wrapping aluminium foil around the antenna of your router. You direct the foil towards places where signals are the weakest in your home. This serves as a reflector, so that signals can travel across all directions and not just into one area. Doing this also allows the signals to move freely, even with the presence of obstructions like walls or panels.
Aside from strengthening signals, it can also divert signals to places in the home where you spend the most time in. For example, you can make the signals stronger in your room, in exchange for weaker signals in your laundry room.
