Recycle an old satellite dish into a WiFi booster

Sep 24, 2009 02:03 AM

Struggling to keep up your wireless signal? If you're struggling to stream Hulu from the backyard DocZee's got an idea.

Pull that old DirecTV satellite dish off the roof. Mod it into a 2.4GHz 802.11 WiFi booster antenna. Oh make that an antenna, that swivels!

This hack is a bit technical. You are modifying the standard antenna that sends out an omnidirectional signal, the satellite will send stronger, longer directional signals. The dish modifications involve a bit of solder and splicing, but don't let that turn you off. It will all be worth it.

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari. See what else is coming to your iPhone with the iOS 18.4 update.
