What are some /g/ approved non-snakeoil ways to gain more range outta an external wifi adapter with an antenna, preferably without buying shit?
I tried making it into a directional antenna using a bowl and some tinfoil, marginal results, not worth the hassle of setting up, but then again i can't into physics and shit so i probably got the angles wrong or something.
>pic unrelated
use extension cable and let that shit hanging out in the window

Reroute power from the internal dampeners.
You can make some kind of half-ass reflector.

by adding reflectors?
no, not going to happen!
or do they mean packet loss by "security"? (wouldn't that be another word then like: "stable" / "safe" --> "a stable / safe connection"?)
Russian engineering has the answers.
