Foil Aluminum Assessed Can Fix Wi-Fi Signal

If you ever thought of switching to aluminum foil to divert the Wi-Fi signal in your bad home, you're wrong. Quoted from Engadget, EurekAlert reports, researchers at Dartmouth College have found that 3D printed signal reflectors, comprised of thin layers of metal and plastic, can drastically and cheaply improve the wireless signal around the house.

This experiment is based on the idea of ​​using aluminum soda behind the router to be able to steer the signal away from the annoying walls and other obstructions. The team is able to analyze a space and create a custom reflector that will optimize the WiFi signal in the room.

They then enter data into a custom program called WiPrint that designs the optimal plastic reflector and makes it use a 3D printer. The final step is to close the object in aluminum foil and place it on the router.

This solution solves some problems with WiFi signal. The cost is not expensive. If you have access to a 3D printer, it only costs about 35 US dollars, if compared to directional antennas that cost much more.
