Before you give up, check this [post](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/troubleshooting-help-for-simple-nrf24l01-2-4ghz-transceiver-demo/1099625). I had the same problem you are describing. The solution I found was to solder a wire to connect the capacitors to the ground terminal on the power breakout board.
