People have used pringles tubes also
I have seen the less they have to go through the better in terms of connection strength but a good antenna can make a difference also

I don't have a connection between my phone and my PC so I can't upload it but I've just made a video showing a quick hack I put together in an attempt to improve my wifi connection on my PC. I cut the side off a cereal pack and stuck a load of kitchen foil (shiny side out) to it. I then rolled it into a cylinder with the foil on the inside and fixed it with tape. I had an active download on bittorrent going at around 20KB/s. I put the cylinder over the antenna and pointed it at my router and BAM 900KB/s up to max of 1.2MB/s! Took it off and instantly back down to 30KB/s! I seriously can't believe it! At least it shows that I just need to buy an extension for the antenna. |

wow, thats quite some performance gain for what is in essence a home-made satellite dish (reflects the signal toward the antennae, boosting signal) good job
