With the foil the rate when up to 54 Mbps. Which is pretty much the max on the itouch. I'll have to try this on my gf house since she tend to get weaker signal from her router to her comp.

But all in all. This might work or might not work for some. But if you find yourself having wifi signal issue. Give this test a try. Is cheap and best of all. there is nothing to lose beside a couple piece of tin foil and papers =P
There's no way you got 54 Mbps. Factor in overhead. Your iTouch is not the most accurate tool of measurement.
