I'm pretty sure thats unpossible, try a microwave and some garlic it should boost the signal, direct the antennas from the router to the most metallic part of the microwave and the microtextural bogoconductor + full-duplex planck magnetoms as well as the quantized garlic aroma should distribute the signal more evenly around the room (even through walls) than the antennas ever could. Trust me I'm an enginer I've trained for this moment my whole life
Funnily enough this may actually have a positive impact
People used to create tinfoil, tin can or wok based reflectors for WiFi to guide the omnidirectional signal into becoming a directional one.
I think the reflective part of some mirrors is essentially tin foil, so it probably would have a mild boosting effect in the direction of the mirror
Edit: in fact if OP’s fan has a rounded metal cage on it, you could take the front half off and you’ve basically got a WokFi setup there, with added danger
I’ve heard about this but not had loads of time to read into how it works and how effective the algorithms are. Do you happen to know about it in depth? I’ve wondered for a while how much efficiency is actually improved by the beamforming and what the limitations are
Like I’ve read about cantennas that fire 802.11g over several hundred meters, which in my understanding is obviously is out of reach for regular WiFi antenna even with beamforming algorithms (or is it? I actually don’t know)
Essentially you are stacking waves. If you have an array of trasmitters, you can have them send a constructive signal or a destructive signal as a signal “wave” passes them. Using this property, you can change the shape of the wave propagation. Think of it like throwing a stone in a pond, and then throwing in a second or third stone at the exact right moment to combine the ripples, creating a stronger wave in a particular direction depending on when and where you throw the stones.
Man, I’ve always wondered how yagi antennas actually managed to produce a directional beam vs something like a dipole. Your comment has really made it click for me, honestly big thanks! Very clear 5-9
Yep. Now imagine each element on the yagi antenna is its own antenna that can be triggered by a controller, instead of just being one big “dumb” antenna. Now by timing the “firing” of each antenna you can create a directional beam in pretty much any direction.
Yep, and the fan moving in back almost certainly will fuck up beamforming as reflections are fairly important to get the beam to do object avoidance and if your reflective surface is angled and moving quickly…
You’re not wrong. Matter of fact, you’re absolutely right!
Back around 2011, I used a pie pan and USB WiFi dongle to snag the neighbor’s WiFi. My pie pan contraption basically tripled the signal strength, and I never had a single dropout. 👍
If you make a series of tubes, you can route from the router and reroute back to the router, creating an information highway through, what we call in comp science, a “loop”. Depending on which side you install the turbo, you can replicate the same tech your ISP charges extra for in “speed boost”. If you go bi-turbo—one in inbound and one in the outbound tubes of the loop—you can generate effectively unlimited speed, where onlyfans used in your inbound and outbound tubes limit based on their RPM. This is why I use RC plane turbines. It’s loud, but I’m streaming YT in 480.
That’s absurd. You don’t need to route to or from your router. That’s it’s entire job. Do you also run computations for your computer and speak on behalf of your speaker? Complete madness.
I’m no expert but from my experience it is the other way around: Upload speed increased, Download speed decreased. Which makes sense because the outgoing data is boosted by the wind whereas the incoming traffic has to overcome the wind. If you want to increase download speed I suggest placing a hoover behind the router.
I had a friend complaining that his new computer I built for him was crashing a lot.
So I go there and spend a good bit of time trying to make it crash. Nothing.
Then his girlfriend gets bored and picked up the wireless phone. Bam ! Computer crashed!
It had to happen another time for me to realize it crashed when she was picking up the wireless phone. Turns out the phone base was on top of the computer. Tha cpu was a AMD 950MHz and the phone a 900MHz phone. I have no ideas if the frequency is at fault or the phone base was creating bad interferences somehow but taking the phone base away from the computer finally solved the problem.
