I did have access to "Chinese parabolic
cookware” and the LUTEC WLA-54L wifi usb adapter.
Dish antenna extends wireless connection distances by up to 300%.
It works like a satellite dish, so the dish catches the wireless signal
and improves reception.
It's a directional antenna, which means the dish can be rotated and
tilted in order to be aimed it in the direction of your router and
therefore achieve the best possible wireless signal. I tested it in
multiple environments and was impressed with the results.
