Just drill a hole in bottom of 12" or so aluminium mixing bowl,put thru usb cable and a wood dowel(small piece of rubber hose for grommet),attach wifi usb stick to dowel end and slowly find best location in bowl (best sig streight) ie, focal location. Mount on old camera tripod or such...You'll see prob at least 5-8x range/signal increase...I can get working conditions over 700 feet.<br /> tm</p> </div>
