Doug sent me a link to show me how to build a “wok-fi”. What do you think?
The metal strainer used for the “wok-fi” is easy enough to find. The only problem is the USB extender cable. My laptop does not give out enough power/current to go through even a 1.5 meter cable. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the message I got was “Device Unknown”.
I did some research and found out that there is such a thing as a USB repeater cable. This cable will boost the energy running through the regular USB extender cable. I doubt I will be able to find the repeater cable in any of the computer shops in town. But who knows, eh. I will check out some of the computer shops in town and see if I can find a USB repeater cable.
For now, I am using my brother’s new laptop and it does a far better job of picking up the city’s free wi-fi signal. Hence the more frequent updates on my blogs! :wink:
