Hi friends, I feel enormously happy to explain this hack to all of you. Do you know how much is the range of a normal WiFi adapter (Internal / External), it's just a few meters 10-15 mts or for some dongles it may varies between 15-20 mts if nothing comes in between the router and the wireless adapter.
So I have decided to write this blog so that everyone should know how they can increase their WiFi adapter range but unfortunately this hack can't increase the internal WiFi adapter range, this is only for External WiFi adapter. For this hacks you require certain things like:
The basic principle behind this hack is the principle of convergence of waves over a focal point of parabolic dish. You can learn about this in detail from the wiki link. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector)
To calculate the focal point of the parabolic dish there is a formula, which gives a relationship between the diameter D, the depth d and the focal distance f of the dish.
f = D^2 / 16d
The above formula helps in positioning the feed of the parabolic antennas as it gives the focal distance f.
The focus of this hack is to find the focus of the parabola dish that you have and install your WiFi adapter on that spot. Please see these images how I made it.
You can install it on a camera tripod if u have one or adjust it between AC and the upper wall like me :P
So basically it's an uni directional or Line of Sight Communication system. And you can capture or hack wifi that are very far away from your range just by pointing the setup on the victim site. I can't disclose how many networks I own now :D
If you like my setup please do share it or comment over here.
Happy Hunting !!

- Parabolic Dish (Unused Reliance Dish Antennae)
- External USB WiFi Adapter (TP Link TL-WN721N)
- USB extension cable Male to Female (1 to 5 mts)
