Here is a video I watched. I tried it and it worked!

Must need a Modem/Router with an Antenna!
I think everyone heard about the tinfoil method.
are you telling me photons reflect off of shiny surfaces?
no really thanks for the info, I've been meaning to get better wifi in my room anyway

Never.
I often wonder just how effective foil is to other (widely available) materials.
I prefer the beer can method.

Technically all it does is shield the antenna and collect more of the wi-fi signal.
Using any metal will yield the same results.
You're better off building a yagi, dish, or helix antenna that would yield results 100 times better. They're not that hard to build.

Or just get a better adapter with more power output and signal sensitivity.
get a second router, put dd-wrt on it, make it a repeater bridge.
its what i did.
changing the channel it broadcasts on also works, that and increasing the voltage to the antenna
