Hello,
Thanks in advance. I would like to amplify 2.4ghz wifi. We are going to do things
differently however. First lets assume the antennas on both ends have the most
amount amount of gain arguably possible. So no need to ponder what can be
improved there. Second we do not want to use bridge gaping devices, range
extenders. I have already taken a stab at this with little oversight on what it was
that I was doing. Purchased some chips and breakouts from mouser. I think
They would have done the job. Problem was I had a miserable time getting
the chips mounted. Four out of four failed. I think I was just soooo pressured to not
mess up that I did just that. Here is what I purchased:

I believe it was like 34db. I intended to solder a coax cable from the wireless routers antenna output
to the input of this chip then from the chips output to an antenna. I guess what all this comes down to
is, Can anyone see if this was a fail before it started? should I order 4 more and try again? Can anyone recommend a chip to use? One that was thru hole would sure be nice. However I did not see much of interest in that format. Anything should be easier then mounting QFN 16 and 32. Should add this ass well. I think there are products available that would help ensure I get the chip mounted next time.
