TRENDnet TK-802R Frequently Asked Questions

What is 802.11n Draft?
802.11n is the emerging Wi-Fi standard intended to be ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
in late-2007. The majority of the standard has been agreed upon and incorporated into the recent 1.0 Draft, which
TRENDnet's products are based on. The products are designed to deliver significantly higher performance levels than is
currently possible with the existing 802.11a/b/g standards, while still maintaining compatibility with existing 802.11b/g
equipment.
Why is it needed?
Whether it is sharing files or attending Webinars for business purposes, or leisurely surfing the net to stream video and
audio, our network needs have quickly outpaced existing wireless standards. 802.11n draft is designed to improve the
streaming of high-bandwidth content over the air with added speed, coverage and quality of service support. Compatible
with existing 802.11b and 802.11g 2.4 GHz frequency network equipment, Wireless N-Draft can act as the backbone of a
new multimedia home network or can be easily added to corporate networks for increased coverage and throughput.
How does the N-Draft improve wireless coverage?
The faster speeds and better coverage of 802.11n draft is achieved by using multiple antennas or Multiple-Input, Multiple-
Out (MIMO) technology. By employing multiple sending and receiving antennas in routers and client adapters, data is
quickly routed and delivered through the most efficient paths. This allows the equipment to intelligently adapt to potential
interference in the environment and reach farther distances than existing legacy equipment. Deadspots are effectively
eliminated enabling users to connect anywhere throughout their home or office.
