[Shop-talk] Wifi to the garage

[Jim Stone]

I am dealing with the exact same issue as Bob.  The signal to my garage, which
is only a couple of hundred feet from the wireless router, comes and goes.
Besides general surfing to find the answers to car-related questions, I
frequently listen to Pandora in the garage (great internet radio station, if
you have never tried it) and it will work fine for minutes to hours, then quit
because the signal isnt strong enough.  I am hoping something like Richard's
Parabolic Reflector will help.

Richard: I have two questions for you:  first, do you put one of these on both
the router and the receiver?  And second, does the foil go on both cutouts or
just the rectangular backing?

I will report back on how everything worked.
