Don't Throw Away Cookie Tins! Build This High-Power WiFi Antenna

Don't throw away your old cookie tins! In this video, I will show you how to build a high-power 2.4GHz WiFi antenna using a recycled biscuit tin lid. This DIY project is simple, low-cost, and incredibly effective. I conducted a real-world range test at 75 meters and the results were amazing: the signal strength jumped from 20% to 44%, and the download speed doubled from 6Mbps to 11Mbps! Watch the step-by-step tutorial and boost your WiFi signal today. Technical Specifications Here are the precise measurements to build this 2.4 GHz WiFi Antenna using a Biscuit Tin Lid: 1. Driven Element (Active Element) This is the core of the signal receiver. Use tin plate or aluminum. Total Plate Length: 140 mm (14 cm). Square Dimensions: 55 mm x 55 mm (2 pieces). Connecting Plate Width: 8 mm. Gap Between Squares (After bending): 17 mm. Cable Hole Point: 2 mm from the edge (1 mm hole diameter). Bending Details: First bend: 8 mm from the connector. Second bend: 6 mm from the first bend. Feed leg length: 20 mm with a width of 11 mm. 2. Reflector (Tin Lid) Acts as a mirror to bounce signals toward the driven element. Reflector Dimensions: Minimum 170 mm x 145 mm (Standard square biscuit tin lid). Position: Drill a hole in the center of the reflector for the antenna cable path. 3. Spacing (Air Gap) The distance between the Driven Element and the Reflector is crucial for correct frequency impedance. Spacer Thickness: 8 mm (Use non-conductive material like rubber or plastic). 4. Wiring & Connection Cable Type: RG174 (Or any 50 Ohm coaxial cable). Connection: Solder the inner core of the cable to the driven point. Connect the braided shield (ground) to the reflector plate. MulTech Tip: Ensure every bend is straight and symmetrical. A difference of even 1-2 mm can significantly affect the signal quality.
