To improve upon the idea, Zhou's team came up with what it calls WiPrint: a system that analyses the internal layout of your home, mapping portions of it where you'd like to see your Wi-Fi signal boosted, along with specifying areas where you don't really need a strong connection. Since the layout of everybody's home is different, just putting up a can shaped like a kind of radar dish and hoping for the best isn't very scientific - it doesn't give you much control over where the aluminium directs the wireless signals. While there's definitely anecdotal evidence that using the aluminium from an empty drink can can help boost your Wi-Fi, the shortcoming of the technique is that you end up with a curved, generic panel as your reflector.
