instructables.com — "The parabolic Asian cooking (dumpling) strainer is the perfect candidate for this project. I was able to pick up 20 more access points in the city and connect to a network a few blocks away! This is BY-FAR the most simple of all Wifi extensions!"

Wait, I'm confused. Do you:a) plug this into your router, point it in a direction and head out that direction orb) plug this into your laptop, head out a bit and point it at the router?

An old Satellite dish is ideal, as it is actually designed to be a precision parabolic reflector.
