Wi-Fi/Building an antenna

Wi-Fi is a fantastic new gadget, but out of the box its reach is only about 50 to 100 meters. Fortunately it is possible to build your own antenna cheaply (less than 10 US dollars or euros) in an hour or two.

There are several approaches to building your own antenna:


 * Cantenna - highly directional
 * Parabolic mesh - moderately directional
 * Coax Antenna - omnidirectional
