Hello guys and sorry but i cant short it and i really need your insight:
Had a big wifi parabolic antenna (24dbi) connected with the default 1 feet 50ohm to a TP-LINK USB wifi adapter 7200-ND, and then a custom made USB extension (26 FEET, a little more than max. spec) that i build using standard speaker wire for the power lines , data+ data- usb lines, each pair homemade shielded with shield grounded to my house, host's edge ends in a Y-shaped to drain a few more mA. Tested with a pendrive, evrething seems ok with mobo's rear ports, pannels ports make crazy things and/or did not recognize. USB wifi adapter works great 100% signal for 1 month than, starts to taking too long to initializing USB controllers at boot up, a week later begins to disconnect, and do not detect any wireless network at all, than it works ok. Going bad again, precious 100% signal streght is now at 20%, tried feeding it with a external 5v PSU, but nothing happens and windows take it but not wireless network detected at all, dead. Here in my country such entry level adapter cost me almost 7 dinners, so it's too costly for me. I need to know if:
1)Way too big antenna toasted the wifi adapter
2)It died because of luck.
3)My homemade usb extension with such huge speaker wires do not follow the 90ohms specification for USB bus signaling and it does reflect signal backward and burnt the wifi chipset . And/or my protective grounded-shield along the wires is a destructive one?
