Wifi Router is on one end of the apartment. Office is on other side. With coronavirus making us all WFH it was time to improve wireless connection with a reflector that wasn't as ugly as (but not performant as) my earlier cardboard corner reflector.

Notes:
Raft if making in ABS.
Print and cover the inner curved face with metal. I used Aluminum tape. Place behind wireless router if it's near a corner, and it will improve the quality of the signal. Scale as needed. A cutout was made for a bookshelf. I made it a little too high and therefore the reflector sits a little low relative to the router, but it gets the job done without being too intrusive.Post-Printing
Make it an Antenna
Add metal to the curved face. Aluminum tape, aluminum foil and tape, anything conductive. Use command strips or whatever to affix to corner.
How I Designed This
OpenSCAD was used, the file is included.
Created 2-D cutout of roughly what I wanted, then did a linear extrude. I also made a cylindrical cutout to save on material and weight.
Two sections were put together for my bookshelf.
