I did something similar once as a lark when desperate once, and it showed a repeatedly demonstrable improvement in wifi range! It involved a metal washtub.

You probably put the WiFi antenna in the washtub, right? Not a completely disconnected, not in use cell phone... to boost your WiFi signal. 
I like the How to see NY on $100 video better. Never knew the Empire State Building was named after Frederick J. Building.

No, I put the laptop in the washtub and pointed it at the distant signal.
Without the wt, signal dropped out. Point wt elsewhere, signal dropped out. With wt pointed at target, I could get 1-2 bars and email - very slow, surfing was not possible. It helped me get some important msgs out when my internet was down. Just glad no one saw me on the porch with laptop in a washtub!

LOL, that was pretty good.
But, everyone knows the true way to increase your range is to use a Pringles can!

Final Approach
does it have to be a salad bowl? I'm not a big fan of salad ... 
I'm more of a Pringles fan ... me and Mr. Miyagi made a magic yagi ...
