Hacked router aims to help ALP communications

A few days ago we received a router that had been modified to boost the signal strength. This will hopefully allow for a stronger link between the ALP flight and ground computers. A modified antenna booster was also acquired and will fly on the ALP itself. We will test both components to gain a better understanding of characteristics before flight. This will allow us to fine tune the system to our needs. Check back for more updates on ALP progress.
