Rami even did his brothers Greek exam performance as his brother (Sami) was gunna fail lol and his teachers didn't know. To pass the class (Greek language class I think) he had to do like a Greek tragedy on stage and he nailed it lol

... With a pringles can?

[@elsoudani4028]

How does that work?

[@wiger_]

@@elsoudani4028 it's an antenna, it just gets a stronger signal

[@PerthScienceClinic]

​@@elsoudani4028 The foil in the can acts as a wave guide, a bit like a telescope. Instead of the receiving being a tiny wire in the USB dongle, it's the entire mouth of the can. This gives a much larger aperture and thus, more signal. This means that a weak WiFi transceiver can be made stronger, so one out of range gets into range. In reality, it increases the signal strength by about 1 bar, not great, but it can make a difference.

[@johnmarksolomon2223]

This is so accurate man. saw that blue background on his screen

[@nickostrowski183]

i remember using a pringles can as a kid to steal free wifi from the library

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

About the pringle antenna, it does not work that well in real life, a bigger can works much better, like a Maxwell House coffee can, but I understand this is a TV show which I really like myself as all the hacks are legit. For DIY antenna, using a wok as parabolic reflector works best IMHO 8-)

[@Skovkid]

why dont you make a video and share your design of a wifi extender. there is plenty of views with a video like that. just remember to make it simple at first so everyone can do it them self then you can make a more advanced version for the handy diys

[@ChrisM-qo1jc]

it's not about the most optimal, it's about what works in the current situation and right there and then is what he had

[@HIGH_noon]

actually it does... because the pringles can is the optimal diameter as well as being slightly lined with aluminum foil... you dont want WIDE you want narrow to... shoot the wifi adapter antenna out and GRAB the wifi signal far away, the maxwell can is wide and wouldnt likely be as good at least imo, kinda why the pringles can is the "meme", a japanese guy figured it out after a bunch of trail and error, pringles worked WAY better then other methods he tried.

[@MilesEdgeworth129]

Well, it doesn't work well for 2.4 GHz, but it works quite a bit better for 5 GHz.
