How to Boost Wifi signal? Using a Soft Drink Can.

Almost all of us have problems with the weak wifi signal at our homes, shops and offices but there’s no effective solution to the problem and we keep trying different things to boost the wifi signal. Sometimes, we change our Routers spending few hundred dollars on a new one, sometimes we change the position of the routers and sometimes we try cleaning up our laptops and PCs or download wifi signal boosting apps on our tablets and smart phones

You will be surprised to know that there’s finally a solution to boost wifi signal which is proven, tested and effective and doesn’t cost you even a single penny as it is inside your home.

So let’s start exploring how to boost wifi signal effectively?

By the time you end up reading this post you may have tried the same method.

Today, we are sharing a very effective and meaningful research conducted by a team of researchers led by Dartmouth College that has proved to solve the weak wifi signal problem inside the homes, closed spaces with multiple rooms and offices.

The research was presented on Nov. 8, 2017 ACM’s BuildSys 2017 in Delft, Netherlands that relies on a cheap 3-D reflector made out of plastic and a thin layer of metal that was developed using 3-D printing method. The shape of the reflector can be customized based on where the users need strengthened signal the most.

The earlier research done in the same area of boosting wifi signal inside homes and offices had shown promising results by keeping an soft drink can made out of aluminium by a router significantly boosted wifi signal and further advancements in the same research had adjusted the shape and the direction of aluminum to identify the best shape for boosting the signal.

According to the new research the wifi signal can be boosted by spending $35 or even less on a customized 3-D printed reflector compared to a signal boosting router or antenna that costs few hundred to thousands of dollars. It not only boosts the wifi signal but also makes more secure.

The research included an algorithm designed to optimize the shape of the 3-D reflector to target wireless coverage and the research team has also developed an approach to simulate how radio signals spread and interact with the surrounding objects and as it provides insightful information about hindrances that affect the wifi signal negatively.

The system is able to compute an optimized shape for the 3-D reflector based on the information about interior space, wireless access points within the space and the target area where the wifi signal needs to be boosted in about 23 minutes.

Researchers have found that reflector was able to decrease the strength of the wifi signal by up to 10 dB where it is not required and increase the strength by 6 dB where the users needed a boost in wifi signal.

The research has proved to be beneficial for boosting wifi signal as achieving improved wifi signal in targeted areas and locations has always been a challenge at low cost.

Tip: You can try keeping an empty coke or pepsi or any soft drink can by your router and boost  wifi signal significantly. It works!

The above research was conducted jointly by the researchers from Dartmouth College, University of Washington, Columbia University, and UC Irvine.
