I'm new so I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place! If so please redirect me to where I should post this.
I have a laptop that receives wifi. I live right by my university at the girls dorm on the 18th floor (I'm a starving university student) and can receive they're wifi free of charge. The problem is the signal is too weak. So I've decided to make a wifi antenna. On the internet I found something called a cantenna and wokfi, so I figured I'd make something like that. Here are all the materials I have:
Plastic bowl
Can
Umbrella
CD
Copper cable
Ductape
Electric tape
USB
Aluminum Foil
Scissor
Kitchen knife
Iphone charger
My big question is really how do I connect this antenna to my laptop after made. Can I use the copper cable and stick it to my USB somehow? Do I need to connect it? I really don't know anything about building stuff or computers @_@
Thank you so much in advance!!!!
