Boost my Wifi

[Felix Bonin]

Hi,

I'd like to know if I could boost my Wifi router range my making a DIY antenna. I thought about using a coax cable which goes in my attic but is connected to nothing. My router is Asus RT-N12. Would it work and do I need to make a special loop fro having a good signal? 

Thanks!

Well you'll need to get a 5ghz capable wireless router/AP. I'm sure your devices can use 5ghz..

Yes, get a 5ghz capable wireless router. Do you have a budget?

I don't really have budget but how would it change if I have 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz router if I just change the antenna?
