ASUS RTAC68U and a High Power 1000mW Wi-Fi Signal Booster

I say do a class action lawsuit on antennas and burning up your 5 Ghz radio chip.....because you know who will win money
the snake attorney filing the lawsuit
They are the only one's who win on class action lawsuits, that and the person who SPENT the money on the lawyers to do a class action
and doing a class action is not like going to small claims court
the law is written by lawyers for lawyers
the rest of us have to use common sense or JUST ASK someone.
you say to-Ma-toe I say TO-mat-o....

straight ignorance in regards to class actions and lawyers but that isn't a debate (literally there is no debate) for this forum. I do understand the general public's misconception of them due to media and the general public's typical lack to perform their own research so no worries.

I think i will have to agree to disagree. I know how transmitters work whether it be a Ham,CB or AM,FM Police, Fire dept, or a home Router its all the same. Really no need to keep this thread alive.

Correct it will not work and over a very short time the radios will fail. The transmitter must have a proper load and resistance to function efficiently. It's the same thing as turning your stereo volume up and having no speakers hooked up the audio outputs would over heat and fail. Anyway this has got enough off topic and I will say no more about it other then what I am stating is 100% true I would not come here and deliberately give bad information I know how radio transmitters and antennas work I have been doing almost my whole life. Have a nice day.

I found this site on google, upon registering it asked what the acronym of smallnetbuilder is. The site admin clearly doesn't know what an acronym is (it has to be pronounced as a word). That's off topic but it inspired the same confidence as reading your posts. A stereo would not burn out in the example you gave. The speaker completes the circuit. Removing the speakers means the circuit isn't complete, there would be no heat at all.

Your "I've worked in this department" logic means nothing. Many people belong to a profession for years and remain to be ignorant. Someone may have climbed mt everest but it doesn't mean they know all about mountains. http://changingminds.org/disciplines/argument/fallacies/appeal_authority.htm

You've failed to use any logic or reasoning to support your arguments, and I am ignorant about the subject (or I wouldn't be here). However, because you've used fallacies to support your arguments, even if some of them are true, I cannot trust them because of the obvious reasons

You go buy an expensive stereo hook it up with no speakers (Load) crank up the volume and see how long the final transistors last... You sir dont know what your talking about. The same can be said for a router unhook the antennas if there is not some kind of safety circuit to shut off the PA's and i doubt there is in a home grade router the finals will over heat and fail. This is simple physics that apply to any circuit that requires a proper load (resistance) to function properly and not over heat.

The truth, as is so often, part way in between the two answers above.

No, a solid-state audio amplifier running unloaded is not going to be overloaded or run hotter. When audio amplifiers had output transformers that might have been true, for not with more modern equipment.

Heat comes from power, and power = voltage times current. With no current being delivered to a load a solid-state amplifier dissipates only a small fraction of its full-load power.

On the other hand, radio transmitters CAN fail under the same conditions because the power that should be going to the antenna is reflected back to the source instead (remember "SWR"?) This is not likely to be a problem with WiFi amplifiers: 80 milliwatts reflected back to the amplifier is a pretty tiny amount relative to the rest of the heat being generated in the chip. If the transmitter is supposed to deliver a half watt or more that might be enough to harm it.
