Configuring your Wireless Settings for N Speeds

First your router must be upgraded to the newest firmware, and obviously MUST be an N capable unit. There are many different factors that can affect N performance. RF interference, Router brands, Congested Wireless locations etc.

All N capable routers are MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output). Technical Specs

Due to this fact, multiple antennas will operate on different frequencies in order to provide the best signal quality regardless of the location.

For the WRT310N

These configuration settings proved successful

Advanced Settings
