Detecting aluminum really has the ability to accelerate Wi-Fi networks

Researchers at the University. Dartmouth, the United States has developed a specially shaped and aluminum-coated tool that can improve the wireless wave transmission range and enhance Wi-Fi security.

According to Techcrunch, the tool that the research project of the University. Dartmouth experimented with a reflector placed above and around a Wi-Fi router to shape the beam, increasing the coverage range and preventing it from passing through other dimensions.

Xia Zhou, assistant professor at the University. Dartmouth said: "At only about $ 35 and understanding the coverage requirements, an adjustable wireless reflector is much cheaper than an antenna for thousands of dollars."

In the research report, Zhou and colleagues tested many types of directional antennas and some "handed down" solutions to direct radio waves to the receiving target.

After a few experiments, scientists created an object that enhances the ability to receive Wi-Fi waves to any room. The team also created a program called WiPrint to "print" exactly the shape of the device with a 3D printer to shape the beam, to increase coverage and security.

They also found that reflectors can accurately shape Wi-Fi beams to avoid some space, or prioritize Wi-Fi for those in need.

The security and coverage of Wi-Fi is therefore greatly increased. In a straightforward way, you can configure the Wi-Fi beams to avoid going out the window and exit, while concentrating entirely on an area in the room.

Although the application is incomplete, users can expect a product that supports the orientation and acceleration of Wi-Fi networks in the near future.
