an old room mate lost my antennas.
it wasn't a problem till now when i need a little wifi.
all i can ever find is high gain & usually expensive.
i only need wifi covering 5-10feet away.

i want to make a simple small antenna.

i know they use a RP-TNC connectors.
TNC connector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

my router is that gold plug.
the antenna needs to be the silver one.
all the plans i see are for cantenna, unidirectional, or tall.

i'm pretty good with electronics. i just never got into antennas.

any ideas?
pencil wrapped in wire, cloths hanger, old cooking pot?
