1 thing you need to remember about this "device" is that it changes the way the waves are projected.

As they mentioned, it turns the signal from a "circular" one (broadcasting in all directions) to a directional broadcast. So if your router is in the middle of your home or is above where you are accessing the wireless from, then it could reduce the signal and make it worse.

Anyways, good stuff!!

I've also tried this and it surprisingly worked.
I pulled out some foil, folded it to mold the bottom of the wii stand, and then placed my wii back on top of the stand, and my wi-fi signal of my wii went from 3 bars to 4 bars. :chuckle:

I put the "Windsurfer" on my router, and have it facing towards the direction of my Wii, but it actually made the reception turn from green to yellow. I built it correctly, does anyone know what I may have wrong?
