Small 1 Watt RF Low noise Power Amplifier.... Utilizing Intel Wireless-N 7260 Mini PCIe card.....

[Jimlp1]

Hello:

          I am currently using a DELL Latitude E6540 Laptop, I live fulltime in an RV Park.. The WiFi Signal here is terrible, with the Intel Wireless-N 7260 Mini PCIe card inside my RV I got between 48% and tops of 55% Signal Strength. After extensive research on Wifi Signal Boosters, etc., I found not much worked, per say. My last resort was to install a 2.4GHz YAGI Outdoor Antenna aimed at one of the Uniquintoi Access Points, running RG-174 Coax cable from the YAGI Antenna directly to the Intel Wireless-N 7260 Mini PCIe Wifi Card, inside the Laptop. I gained fluctuation between 70% up to 85% at times, yet the Wifi Indicator on the DELL E6540 is constantly lit up.

 I have ordered a Low Noise High Gain Amplifier w/SMA connectors, (RF-IN & RF-OUT males) to attach the RG-174 Coax cable w/SMA connectors at each end. The Amplifier is said to produce 1 Watt of output Power.... My Questions is... Would this 1 Watt of output Power fry the Intel Wireless-N 7260 Mini PCIe Wireless wifi Card.....???????
