While most of us manage to 'surf the net' without any issues but thousands in the region struggle with poor wi-fi signal and connection problems.
Numerous companies offer booster products to help out with so-called "mesh networks" but they can cost a fair bit.
Now, a team of researchers may have just figured out a much cheaper way to achieve the same effect.
It involves using a 3D-printed reflector with a special wavy design wrapped in aluminium foil.
When you place this around the antenna of your router it reflects the signal further afield, reports the Hull Daily Mail.
Although the team used a special 3D printed material to get the optimum shape, they say that obviously not everyone has access to a 3D printer.
It is possible to use cardboard to create the wavy structure although it might not be quite as effective.
"Through this single solution, we address a number of challenges that plague wireless users," said Xia Zhou, an assistant professor of computer science at Dartmouth College who helped develop the technique.
"Not only do we strengthen wireless signals, we make those same signals more secure."
Earlier research has already shown that an aluminium can behind the router can help direct the signal in a certain direction - and this new study just builds on that further.
To create the technology, the research designed an algorithm that optimizes a reflector's 3D shape to target wireless coverage. The team also developed an approach to simulating how radio signals spread and interact with objects in their environment.
"With a simple investment of about $35 (£26) and specifying coverage requirements, a wireless reflector can be custom-built to outperform antennae that cost thousands of dollars," said Zhou.
