(This section is copied from P74304-C Introduction)

Revolutionary N Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)

Your Belkin N Wireless Router uses a new smart-antenna technology called Multiple

Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n

specification. It increases speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless

networking systems.

16030_P75445-A_F5D8233-4_V3000_N_RTR_MNL_961008.doc

Page 3 of 108

The element that makes Belkin’s N 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 N MIMO, on the other hand, uses two antennas. This design

helps combat distortion and interference. Belkin’s N 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 N MIMO is the use of aggregation as specified in

the draft 802.11n specification. By shortening the space between packets and combining

multiple smaller packets into one larger packet, Belkin’s N MIMO 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 N MIMO 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 N Wireless Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to

your Router. 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 Router and connected devices

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

from your Router, 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.

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 Router 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. Router Placement

Place your Router, 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 Router’s networking antennas are parallel to each

other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your

Router itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as

possible in an upward direction.

•In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to

the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the

Router on an upper floor.

•Try not to place the Router near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Router 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 Router).

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 Router 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 Router to

channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

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

phone.

16030_P75445-A_F5D8233-4_V3000_N_RTR_MNL_961008.doc

Page 5 of 108

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 Router 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 Router. Should you need to cover an even wider area, we

suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.

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.
