Introduction

Revolutionary N1 Wireless Technology with MIMO (N1 MIMO)

Your Belkin Vision wireless router uses a new smart-antenna technology

called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N1 MIMO complies

with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases speed, range,

reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless networking systems.

The element that makes Belkin’s N1 MIMO technology different from a

conventional radio is the use of multiple antennas and two simultaneous

data streams to deliver wireless transfers around your home or office. A

conventional radio uses one antenna to transmit a data stream. Belkin’s

N1 MIMO technology, on the other hand, uses three antennas. This

design helps combat distortion and interference. Belkin’s N1 MIMO is

multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-antenna technology

by simultaneously transmitting two data streams through the same channel,

which increases wireless capacity.

Another element that enhances Belkin’s N1 MIMO technology is the use of

aggregation as specified in the draft 802.11n standard. By shortening the

space between packets and combining multiple smaller packets into one

larger packet, Belkin’s N1 MIMO technology can transmit more data through

available bandwidth.

Think of conventional radio transmission as a two-lane highway. The

speed limit governs the maximum allowable flow of traffic through

that lane. Compared with conventional radios, one-dimensional

smart-antenna systems help move traffic through that lane faster

and more reliably—analogous to a four-lane road on which traffic

consistently moves at a rate closer to the speed limit. Belkin’s N1

MIMO technology helps traffic move at the speed limit and opens

more lanes—to become the superhighway in this example. The rate of

traffic flow is multiplied by the number of lanes that are opened.

Placement of your N1 Vision

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is

to your N1 Vision. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices

is between 100 and 200 feet.

In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade

somewhat as the distance between your N1 Vision and connected devices

increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move further

from your N1 Vision, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can

weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves

are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.

section

Introduction

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be

related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a

position between five and 10 feet from the N1 Vision in order to see

if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range,

please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network

performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from

functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at

its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

1. N1 Vision

Place your N1 Vision, the central connection point of your

network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless

network devices.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless

clients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook

Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless

USB Adapters):

 • EnsurethatyourN1Vision’snetworkingantennasareparallel

to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the

ceiling). If your N1 Vision itself is positioned vertically, point

the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.

 • Inmultistoryhomes,placetheN1Visiononafloorthatisas

close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean

placing the N1 Vision on an upper floor.

 • TrynottoplacetheN1Visionnearacordless2.4GHzphone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your N1 Vision near devices that may emit radio

“noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit

wireless communication include:

• Refrigerators

• Washersand/ordryers

• Metalcabinets

• Largeaquariums

• Metallic-based,UV-tintedwindows

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that

objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between

your computers and N1 Vision).

Introduction

3. Cordless Phones

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after

attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

• TrymovingcordlessphonesawayfromyourN1Visionandyour

wireless-enabled computers.

• Unplugandremovethebatteryfromanycordlessphone

that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s

information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may

be interfering.

• Ifyourphonesupportschannelselection,changethechannel

on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless

network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and

move your N1 Vision to channel 11. See your phone’s user

manual for detailed instructions.

• Ifnecessary,considerswitchingtoa900MHzor5GHz

cordless phone.

4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as

apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless

networks nearby that can conflict with yours.

Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of

your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that

are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and move

your N1 Vision and computers to a channel as far away from

other networks as possible.

• Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in

order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from

neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

• For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site

Survey and wireless channel information included with your

wireless network card. See your network card’s user guide for

more information.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum

possible area with your N1 Vision. Should you need to cover an

even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range

Extender/AccessPoint.

section

Introduction

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections typically require a user name and

password, and are used where security is important. Secure

connections include:

• VirtualPrivateNetwork(VPN)connections,oftenusedto

connect remotely to an office network

• The“BringYourOwnAccess”programfromAmericaOnline

(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by

another cable or DSL service

• Mostonlinebankingwebsites

• Manycommercialwebsitesthatrequireausernameand

password to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The

simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning

the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure

website.

A second alternative is to change your computer’s power

management settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this

may not be appropriate for portable computers. To change your

power management setting under Windows, see the “Power

Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs,

and AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have

addressed these issues.
