Comment: Woktenna? (Score 1) 135
I've got a Virgin Mobile MC760 3G USB Modem, and am wrapping up using a wok skimmer as a parabolic antenna for it. I'm using a 11" skimmer, and went from two to four bars signal. Just have to finish the mounting and I'll be able to use it with our house wifi network through our router (it has a usb port and with dd-wrt I can use that for a failover connection when Comcast goes down).
Here's the basic idea of it: http://geobray.com/2010/02/07/woktenna-for-3g/
Same idea, using USB wifi adapters: http://www.usbwifi.orconhosting.net.nz/
