Wifi Card Booster

This really works on my DLink DWL-G650 wifi card.
Although it cannot boost to typical range dB level, it deliver a bit strenght to my wifi RX signal.



A card board or a CD hard case will do, just make it to form a 45degree shape angle, then cover it with an aluminum foil.




Then attached it on the PCMCIA wifi card inserted on your laptop.




The result is an additional 14% signal level.



Your wifi card and the reflector foil will now have a directivity to which the angled < is faced or pointed to the highest signal level you may recieved.
