Wireless G Plus MIMO Router
1. Introduction
This document covers the functional description, specification and deliverables of this
project.
2. Product Overview
The Belkin F5D9230-4 Wireless G Plus MIMO Router is a WLAN Router with 4 LAN
ports. The Router operates on 2.4GHz frequencies, which conforms to the IEEE
802.11b/g wireless standards. The router features It features MIMO MRC smart antenna
technology in 1x2 (TX/RX) configuration to enhance reception, Range-OVERDRIVE
technology to increase range, and Packet-OVERDRIVE technology to increase
throughput between products based on the same technologies.
The Router is to be used with either a Broadband ADSL or Cable Modem via the WAN
port to share broadband connections with up to 4 computers via the LAN ports and 14
computers via the WLAN. Each LAN port supports 10/100 Base-T Networks with auto
sensing and switching compatibilities. The Router’s EZ install software operates on
Microsoft’s Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP and on Mac OS X.
The Router can be configured through a web-browser interface. The product is designed
for the home and small office and will be available through major retailers and online
retailers.
