Wok Wifi: The low cost solution to Wifi range issues

Maybe one of my greatest engineering feats, when we moved into our new house I instantly lined up the garden shed (already with power) as my Home Office. After lining the interior and moving in my desk and book case I was ready for business. My connection to the outside world was to be my mobile and a wifi connection to broadband inside the main house. As I was looking to take working from home seriously, I was concerned that my 54Mb.sec 802.11g wireless LAN, could only manage 1Mb/sec 'most' of the time - this would never do.

I was referred to a website of a New Zealand technology college lecturer and his low cost wifi solutions, harnessing the parabolic dishes we come across everyday.



So take:
- one £10 steel wok,
- a 3m USB cable,
- a USB wifi dongle; and
- some brute strength to bang a hole in the bottom of the wok.

and hey presto





18-24Mb/sec all day everyday!!
