Beer Can Wi-Fi

If you are experiencing weak Wi-Fi,  sit back and have a beer. 

Actually drinking the brew is optional, and this trick only works if the suds came in a can.  According to HackCollege.com, when your internet connection is almost nonexistent, it’s time to pop a cold one and try what they call the beer trick.

Here are 6 easy steps:

Step one – drink beer.
Step two – clean out beer can.
Step three – pop off the pull tab and use a utility knife slice off the bottom of the can.
Step four – do the same thing to the top, this time leaving about one inch attached right in front of the drinking hole.
Step five – with a good pair of scissors, cut straight down the back of the can, so it opens up like a sheet of paper.
The last step is to thread your router’s antennae through the hole of the can, opening the rest of the can out wide – it works best if you secure the can with some adhesive. Now, enjoy two extra bars of connectivity.

For those that didn’t make it past step one, here is a handy video to watch.
