Ooops, I missed the triangles on my last post. This was years ago so excuse my fuzziness.

I waited to reply to this thread until I found the files I was looking for. If you place a very directional antenna, like a corner reflector in the front corner of a store and point it to the back, you can limit the coverage to the building. I devised a corner reflector that is made of card stock and aluminum foil. You rubber cement both of the pages I include here together with a layer of foil between them. It slips over the short antenna on a wireless router and directs the energy 90 degrees. Then turn down the power!
