Introduction

Revolutionary N1 Wireless Technology with MIMO (N1 MIMO)

Your Belkin Vi sion wireless router uses a new smart-an tenna 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 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 conve nt ional radio trans mi ssion as a two-lane highw ay. The speed limit go ve rns the maxim um al lowable flow of traffic through that lane. Com pa red wit h c on ventional radi os, o ne-dimens io nal smart-antenna s ystems help move tra ffic through tha t lan e f as ter and more reli ab ly—analog ous t o a fo ur- lane ro ad on wh ic h t raff ic consiste ntly moves at a rate closer to the speed limit . B el kin’s N1 MIMO techno lo gy helps traffic move at the speed limit and ope ns more l anes—to become th e s up erhighway in this exam ple. The r ate of traffic flow is multiplied by the number of lanes that are opened.

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your w irel ess c onnection wi ll be st rong er th e c lo ser your computer is to your N1 Vis ion. Typi cal indoor operat in g r ange for wireless device s 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.

Introduction

If you have concerns about your netwo rk ’s perfo rm ance that might be rel ated to range or obstru ct ion f actors, try movin g t he co mputer to a position between five and 10 feet from the N1 Vision in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficult ies p ersist even at close rang e, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Note: W hile some of the items liste d bel ow ca n a ffec t n et work performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from function ing; if you a re co nc erned that yo ur ne twork is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

3. Cordless Phones

If the perform an ce of yo ur wi re le ss network is impaired after

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

• Try moving cordless pho ne sa wa yf rom you r N1 Vision andyour

wireless-enabled computers.

• Unplug and remove thebatt er yf rom any cordless ph on e

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 farthes t c ha nnel from yo ur wi re le ss network. Fo r e xa mple, change the phone to chan nel 1 an d move your N1 Vision to channel 11. See your pho ne ’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 locat io ns where h om es or offi ce s a re clos e tog ether, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours.

Use the Site Surv ey ca pabilitie s fou nd in th e W irel es s U tility of

your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are av ailable (see your wi reless ad ap ter’s us er ma nual), and move your N1 Vis ion and compute rs to a chann el as fa r a wa y f rom other networks as possible.

• Exp eriment with more than on e of the available c hannels, in order to find t he clearest con nection and avoid inter feren ce 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 c ard. See your network card’s user g uide for more information.

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used where s ecurity is import an t. Secure connections include:

• Vir tual Private Ne tw ork( VPN) connect io ns,often used to

connect remotely to an office network

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

• The

(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another cable or DSL service

• Mostonlinebankingwebsites

• Manycommercial we bs ites that re quirea us er na me  an d

password to access your account

Secure connect io ns can b e i nterrupte d by a comput er’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest so lu tion to avoid this is to simply reconnec t by rerunni ng the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.

A second alte rnative is to change yo ur co mputer’s p ower

manageme nt se ttings so it does not go to sleep; howeve r, th is may not be appropriate for port ab le computers . To change your power management setting under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you contin ue to ha ve di ffic ul ty with Secure Connectio ns , V PNs,

and AOL, pleas e review the step s a bo ve to be su re you have addressed these issues.
