That reminds me. I heard a couple of people talking about about making a paper cube and covering it with aluminum foil and putting it near the router. I never tried it, though.

Hmmm, maybe some sort of reflector would help the reception upstairs...

Or, I've also heard that putting an empty paper-towel or toilet-tissue roll covered inside and out with aluminum foil there can help, too.

Ever heard of the 'cantenna'?

Or, a wi-fi reflector:

There are also wok, salad bowl, colander, DBS dish, etc reflectors.

My salad bowl reflector for USB wi-fi dongles:

It's not quite parabolic, but close enough to be usable.
