Antennas for WiFi are rather expensive, can I make my own?

Making an antenna is not really difficult. There is a lot of information on self-made antennas available on the Internet. We have a description (in Dutch) available on how to make a simple cantenna (blikantenne).
A very simple solution is to use a usb-wifi-adapter, if needed with a reflector (handsieve). An alternative is a biquad-antenna.

If you run into problems, come and see us at the walk-in consultancy hour or send a message to the users mailinglist.
