How to Increase / Boost USB Broadband Signal the Old School Way

Here is how to increase or boost your broadband signal using the materials found in your kitchen at home. This may be the old school way but I guess it is worth a try.

This was contributed by a credible source and a Filipino photographer as well, based in Singapore. If you’re looking for ways on how to boost broadband signal then maybe this would help end your problem.

Materials that you need to boost your broadband signal

How to increase broadband signal
  • A strainer with center hole fit for USB dongle
  • USB Broadband dongle
  • USB cable
  • Aluminum foil

Here are the 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Perform speed test of your current broadband signal

You need to do this before the changes will be implemented. This serves as your basis to determine if there is improvement.

Sample speedtest before the improvement

Step 2: Place the USB cable in between the strainer and connect it with broadband USB dongle

Copy what is shown in the picture, as simple as that.

Step 4: Connect the other end of the cable to your computer

Connect the cable to the USB socket of your desktop or laptop computer.

Step 5: Perform speed test after the changes has been made

Check if there is improvement on your broadband connection speed. I hope there is an improvement similar to what happened to my connection after I do the changes.

If you have the available materials at home then why not try it. If you made an experiment about this come back here and share to us the results. You can also share this on facebook so that others would know about this old school technique.

*I Hope this would help to improve / Boost USB Broadband Signal at your place :-)

    Hi Raymart sorry but I haven’t tried the one you are talking about here. You can place the one in the picture outside of your window so you can determine which one performs better.
