11n Wireless Notebook Adapter User Guide -1-Chapter 1 Introduction W302C employs the most advanced wireless networking technology, IEEE802.11n (Draft 2.0). By using the reflection signal, 802.11n's “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MISO) technology increases the range and reduces “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. Unlike ordinary wireless networking of 802.11b/g standards that are confused by wireless reflections, MISO can actually use these reflections to increase four times transmission range of 802.11g products. Besides, when both ends of the wireless link are 802.11n products, MISO technology can utilize twice radio band to increase three times transmission speed of ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can comply with backwards 802.11b/802.11g standards. Soft AP supported by W302C can help you establish wireless LAN networking with lowest cost. Besides, WPS (PBC and PIN) encryption method can free you from remembering the long passwords. Complete WMM function makes your voice and video more smooth.
