Nov 12, 2008 - No, I have made a wifi extender my self out of the top of a 2-liter sprite bottle and come tin-foil. I only made one because I had my xbox360 across the whole house and a laptop that is mobile. If you have one stationary device then only make one but, if you have two, then make two.

Nov 13, 2008 - That's the point. It takes the signal that would be going behind it to strengthen the signal where you want it.

Nov 13, 2008 - I'm having a problem with the Wind Surfer: Using three scenarios (with the router being in the middle of the house): A: Point both antennas towards the computer on the left. B: Point both at the Wii on the right end. C: Point each antenna an opposite direction, one at the Wii and one at the computer. BUT! Every one of these strategies has left the connection either the same, or more likely lower, than without the "Wind Surfers" at all! If anyone can assist it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Nov 15, 2008 - two antennas does not emit the wi-fi in two different directions. try putting the wii and the computer together, it is the best way.

Nov 16, 2008 - Not to sound retarded but I'm having trouble assembling this. Steps 4-6 4. Cut it out and open the six slots with sissors or an X-Acto knife. 5. Glue tin foil to the back side of the reflector surface 6. Assemble by placing the six tabs in the six slots. I've cut the thing out but what does it mean by "open the tabs" and how do I "place six tabs in six slots" Thanks in advance

Nov 22, 2008 - the two antennas transmit wi-fi B and wi-fi A separately if the wii is wi fi b (slower) then find out witch antenna dose what signal (might be quite hard)and point B to the wii and A to ur pc (witch is most probably A). if they both use A, then make a windsurfer that looks like 2 V`s pointing together from the top so it splits the signal to left and right.
