Spotted this one in a newspaper.
Fancy using your laptop in the garden, but can't get a signal?
Routers work by transmitting radio waves from an antennae to your PC. These Waves are transmitted in all directions, but by reflecting them, their range can be extended.
Cover a cereal bowl in tin foil, (making a mini-satellite dish), place it behind the router antennae, facing in the direction of your deckchair.
It can almost double the range of the wireless connection.

In that case you didn't do it correctly.Tried that, didn't work at all.
Try these plans... http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/index.html
This technique is based on good science and does increase the gain of the antenna by making it directional.0
