Disclaimer: don't blame me if you happen to stab yourself while boozing. And don't just place a can of Schlitz on the router because you are too lazy to cut open a beer can. Happy wifi!

A rednecks attempts to make a homemade antenna;
1st try-following directions cuts were made to can with ergonomic utility knife...beer spurted everywhere.
2nd try- same results as 1st try.
3rd try-reread instructions and it said use empty can. I emptied 6 cans as quickly as possible, chug a lug, because I wanted a first rate antenna.
4th try-my ergonomic utility knife malfunctioned and cut my hand. Emptied 4 more cans while waiting for bleeding to stop.
5th try-running low on cans so I drove down to the local AMPM and picked up a couple more six pack of antennas. Bleeding hadn't stopped so I emptied a few more cans.
6th try- using hacksaw because of defective utility knife I made an antenna. Emptied a few more cans in celebration. I don't think the antenna works...wonder if I need to hook it up to something. I will think that out as I empty rest of the cans to help me think better.
final note-the arresting officer at the AMPM that my truck crashed into explained that I needed a computer first...that cousin Floyd has always been smart like that. But, how smart can he be as he left me sitting in the front seat of his patrol car which just happens to have a computer in plain sight. Guess I had better go get a couple of more sixpacks from the AMPM while I walk home and hook up this here computer. I will let you know tomorrow how this scientific endeavor turns out.

Why? I get WiFi all over my yard and house with my existing router. I can go up to a hundred feet away and get it.
Maybe the guy who did this doesn't know that he can access his router and set the strength level.

My cellphone gets terrible reception when I am at home. I’ve been wondering if I couldn’t create some type of a dish or antenna of sorts that would pull in more signal and direct it to the phone.

Just installed this on the neighbor's router.
Found that the beer can needs to be on the opposite side of the antenna from my house to work better. [for me]
Also found that the SSID was stamped on the router, and the password is the serial number. Sure glad he put his router in the unlocked garage where I could get to it. He has got FIOS, so he won't miss a lick of bandwidth
