To make a Wi-Fi booster using only a can, start by cutting the bottom off an aluminum can and removing the tab. Then, cut almost all the way around the top of the can, leaving about 1/2 inch so the top is still connected. Next, make a vertical cut all the way down the can except for the lid, and fold the sides of the can down so it's flat. Finally, place the can behind your Wi-Fi router so the lid is on the bottom.
