^^ please reveal the technical justification of aluminium foil for strengthening wifi signal. I am too much interested to apply the same

Awesome.

BMG ftw!!
Routers without any directional antenna (i.e. routers having hidden antenna) radiates the signal in all direction and thereby reducing the signal range in any specific direction. In this case, the wall of his room was absorbing ~30% of the signal. By using aluminum foil, that foil reflected the signal in the direction where he it intended to be and thereby increasing the signal range and strength.

So how do i utilize it as mine has an antenna

You can't. Just move all antennas to the direction in where you intend to use the receiving device.

All routers by default comes with Omnidirectional antenna (visible as well as hidden type antenna) which radiates wireless signal equally in all directions. Aluminum foil technique can be used on all types of routers in indoor environment.
Directional antenna should be purchased separately which is used for long-distance wireless communications mostly outdoors.

I never used number pad in my old keyboards. So i went with thsi smaller keyboard. After purchase, i found out i used to use Enter key on number paid. On CM Stom TK keyboard, when you disable number pad (to use arrow key, delete, insert button, etc..) enter key also stop working. So i have to use main enter key, that need more hand movement, not comfortable.
Anoter thing i don't like is you can't turn off back-light of arrow keys. When number pad is off, it always glow.
I pressed enter key on number pad at least 4 times while typing this. I need to get used to use main enter key.
Key is soft, rubber feeling. No tactual feedback. This keyboard is heavy and good build quality.
Now i love my old TVSE more If i had tried CM Strom before purchase, i would have stayed with TVSE.

The CM storm has the Cherry MX Red key, which is a light, linear, non-clicky mechanical keyboard switch, It is often preferred over tactile switches for gaming.
Cherry Red switches do not have any tactical feedback. To get that feedback you should have bought a keyboard with Cherry Blue or Cherry Brown keys. The TVS has the blue keys- which are very popular for its tactile feedback
You should have researched about this before dropping the cash.
Here is a link to help you understand the different types of Mechanical Switches: Link.
@Abhishek Nama I have already read about cherry switches. But in india, CM don't have all key types available. Also i wanted smaller keyboard, the only reason i buy this. For just key, TVSE was ok too. I don't have much problem with keys as i was using non mechanical keyboards for most part. One problem i found during gaming was when i press Q in BF3 to spot, gun get out of zoom state. I think some thing to do with key repeat speed. I have to press Q and release fast compared to TVSE/Logitech keyboard.
I read forums, watched yt videos before getting the keyboard. One of the comment is

Generally people, who have become used to the blue switches find it hard to accept other switches, especially the non tactile feedback one's.
However, your main requirement was gaming, so I would say that you made the right choice, as the red switches are perfect for gaming.
As far the issue that you are facing with the "Q" key, I am not aware of any that issue. Anyway, you will eventually learn to love your new keyboard...enjoy
