INTRODUCTION
Revolutionary N+ Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)
Your Belkin N+ Wireless Modem 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 of fice. 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.

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

Ř 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:
Ř Refrigerators
Ř Washe rs an d/or dryer s
Ř Metal cabinets
Ř Large aquariums
Ř 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).

Placement of your N+ Wireless Modem 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 Desk top Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

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:
Ř Virtual Private Network ( VPN) connections, often used to connect
Ř The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),
Ř Most online banking websites

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

INTRODUCTION
Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power
management set ting, 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 Conne ctions, VPNs, and
AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed
these issues.
