May 17, 200817 yr So my wireless internet reception at my house has been poor for a while, but since I didnt have to deal with it much, being at college most of the time, I didnt really take the time to tweak it. But since I am home for the summer, I cant stand it being so horrible. I have an external USB wireless adapter thing, so I can move it around, and various positions have been successful from time to time, but I never found anything reliable. So I looked into it today, and saw on wikihow that you can put a CD or mirror behind the antenna to reflect the signal back... so I said, oh, what the hell, I'll try that. Lo and behold, my goes from 0-1 bar, about 1 - 5.5 Mbps, to 2 bars, 11 - 24 mbps, just like that. And it actually holds the signal now! Such a ghetto setup, check it out... http://img2.putfile.com/main/5/13712103862.jpg aaahhh, the wonders of technology...

June 1, 200817 yr Author lol well I realized that if I held a CD over the edge and faced it towards the 1st CD, it was way better... so I rigged this bad boy up!
