Cantenna

A cantenna is a special kind of antenna that helps to boost the signal of WiFi or other radio waves. Think of it like a big straw for radio waves!

The cantenna is made out of a long tube, usually made out of metal, with a cap on one end. Inside the tube, there's a little piece called a "patch antenna" that works like a catcher's mitt to grab the radio waves and send them out in a certain direction.

When you put your WiFi device inside the cantenna, it's like you're pointing a really big and good antenna directly at the WiFi signal. This can help you get better and faster internet, especially if your WiFi signal is far away or blocked by walls or other objects.

Overall, a cantenna is like a radio wave helper that helps you get a stronger and clearer signal.
