The Origins of MIMO
MIMO concepts have been under development for many years for both wireless and wireline systems.
One of the earliest MIMO to wireless communications applications came in 1984 with groundbreaking developments
by Jack Winters of Bell Laboratories. This MIMO pioneer described ways to send data from multiple users on the same
frequency/time channel using multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver. Since then, several academics and
engineers have made significant contributions in the field of MIMO.
Wireless Security
The wireless LAN interface of the DSL-G624M has various security features used to limit access to the device or to
encrypt data and shared information. The available standardized security for wireless LAN includes WEP and WPA
Wireless security is configured with the Wireless Settings menu located in the Home directory.
Before enabling any security function for wireless operation, it is recommended to be sure the
access point is working effectively. If possible, test the wireless interface to be sure stations
are able to associate with the DSL-G624M before changing security settings. When you have
successfully tested the AP, change the wireless security settings on the DSL-G624M before
Note
making the changes to clients.
