Has anyone built a cantenna using a can? How does it work? Did it increase the distance you signal would travel? Do they work? I am thinking about building one for fun...
 
I have had the article "Antenna on the cheap, er, chip" on my notice board for about 2 years lol - I intended to make one but never got round to it!

From what I Have read, they do work very well!

You need the ability to attach an external antenna to your wireless card though.
