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.

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.

Introduction

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.

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.

Introduction

section

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).

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.

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.

Introduction

•

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.
