parabolic wifi signal reflector with mathmatical focal point!

thingiverse

this is a mathmatically correct parabolic reflector designed specifically for the alfa atheros ar9271. This is popular hackers high gain wifi antenna. but this can be used with almost any external wifi antenna. I used a parabola calculator so there is a specific focal point for maximum gain. I personally gained appx 20% signal strength increase at appx 200' and through 3 walls. For the print, I suggest using a raft or skirt to help with bed adhesion. I used hot glue because it was quicker and easier. After printing, remove any buggers from the surface and appy Duct tape. as in the metal tape that it used for duct work. NOT DUCK TAPE!!! I should also specify that this design did not lower my wifi ping. but my ping is constant now at 200 ms through 4 walls and 200 feet distance. This is not ideal for mmo or real time online game like racing. This design will work equally well for sending or receiving wifi signals! I hope this works for you. download it, use it, modify it, have fun and enjoy your new stable wifi signal!!! Stevecobb76@gmail.com
