steamer as WiFi booster


Who would have known that a kitchen appliance will help boost signal strength and range of your WiFi? No matter how spacecraft-looking a steamer may seem, it is still pretty much a kitchen tool...but thanks to Instructables, we can now turn it into a cheap power booster for our WiFi adapter.

Instructables say that you'll only need a metal strainer/steamer, a USB WiFi adaptor, USB extension cable (10ft long recommended), 1/2” Drill Bit, Gorilla Glue (or Epoxy), and two Zip Ties to create this wonder. Now you'd just need to stick the adapter into the steamer and you're on your way to a giving your WiFi a boost. The process is not that complicated...just click here for the full instructions and you'll soon see how easy it is. Good luck and have fun!
