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°
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°
