Puteri’s World

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:
