Wireless innovation is evolving...and Skip Guenter is the architect.



The call came in about 7 PM last Monday. It was from Skip Guenter.



"You on a secure line?"



"Yeah", I said..."I guess so".



"Well, I can't take the chance it's not secure. Stay there, don't leave and don't tell anyone I'm coming by."



With that he hung up.



Within the next two hours, Skip "skipsjunk.net" Guenter revolutionized the PC wireless world. His innovation, while shamelessly stolen, did miraculous things and I am here to present it to you today.



Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the DSWD - V1 and DSWD- V2 .



Original night research at Skipsjunk's remote facilities to maintain highest security levels on development.















































Note the surgical precision by which Guenter cut and splayed the metal mesh to insert the highly developed usb wireless adaptor extension. You won't find that quality of craftsmanship anywhere in today's manufacturing environment.



Of further note and interest is the high-tech USB signal routing cabling device used in this technological marvel. Yes, I know...it's breath-taking. Drink in the precision of its placement. Understandably overwhelming, I know.













































Of course, the calculations used to increase signal strength took hours. Using the Linux Super Computer at the secret night time testing location, Guenter was able to hone the signal from a constant 47 percent to a signal that ranged from 72 to 94 percent.



But despite his brilliance and tenacity, problems persisted. The signal would fluctuate between the afore-mentioned percentages. For anyone else, this vast improvement would have sufficed.



But not for Skip "94percent" Guenter.



After crunching the numbers for what seemed to be hours, Guenter began to develop an answer to the problem. Sheer genius prevailed, along with brilliant engineering to steady the signal to a 5 point fluctuation...an acceptable range for Guenter. While solid signal strength did drop from the previous peak of 94 percent - the constant range of 83 to 88 percent insured a steady signal.



Given the wireless router is 168 feet away and sitting behind two load-bearing walls, it's nothing short of amazing.



The new improved version (v2) provides steadier signal levels with the new specially designed and formulated "double backplane reflector".













































Not only was the engineering and focus of this project without peer, the mounting of the device was stunning.



Because of security concerns around the avant guard mounting method we've had to exclude any photos that depicted the mounting mechanism.



Besides the giant black zip ties don't show up so well at night and nobody has a lens that'll show the nail jammed between the sheet metal roof and the 2x4 beam it's hanging from.



Once the appropriate patents were applied for and all components of the DSWD- V1 and V2 deemed as proprietary, we were able to present the DSWD - V1 in the daylight.



































All kidding aside, this was built for about 30 bucks and did boost the wireless signal about 44 percent. What you are seeing is a Belkin USB dongle attached to an extension coupler and run inside through a crack in my door. The "parabolic" effect is actually a dumpling skimmer used by many Chinese eating establishments to dish dumplings and strain them from the cooking pot. You can purchase one at any Asian market for about 10 bucks. I've bought signal boosters that cost almost twice what building this did and it didn't increase the signal but by maybe 20 percent.



My thanks to Skip "operators-are-standing-by" Guenter for his time and patience in putting this together. Please note much of the descriptive or bold text is his.



All-Righty Then
