Now you are ready to place the reflector onto your antenna. Slide the antenna into the center of the X you made in the cap and then force the bottle down over the antenna until the top of the antenna is level with the top of the reflector. Now you place your antenna in a high place and experiment with it by turning it until you see a boost in the signal strength on your computer. This reflector is good because it covers the entire length of the vertical antenna and is very adjustable both right to left and in and out too.

I'm not seeing all your tools and parts needed. What is the white "antenna" made of and how is it connected? Is it connected to a router or a card?

White antenna is a standard 12dbi wifi antenna that is connected to your wifi card in your computer. Tools would be skisors and a pocket knife to cut the "X" in the cap. Use elmers or any other glue to glue the tin foil to the plastic bottle.

actually its not hard at all, but there 2 tricks to it. Number one is to use elmers glue on the back and let it dry. But before you do that if you want to get the foil with out creases, use another piece of folded foil. Fold it like 4 times and use your fingers to straighten out the foil on the soda can. ill ad an image latter.
