3. Introduction
The N-611 is an IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless system or other WLAN application operating for
single band 2.4G (low-band); up to the performance of 300Mbps. It operates at 2.4GHz
unlicensed frequency band for wireless networks in the home or office environment. Base on
the RL 2880 chipset and RF 2820, the N-611 supports rapid data transfer rate up to 300Mbps
and users could work anywhere in the coverage area and enjoy the convenience and mobility
of wireless.
The N-611 also backward compatible with 802.11b/g access point by using 802.11n draft
2.0.
802.11n builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to improve the system
performance. With built-in IEEE 802.11n MAC/BBP and dynamic WEP, WPA, WPA2, the
Wireless N-611 provides best security access and 8* mBSSIDs up to 256 clients.
4. Features
• IEEE 802.11n draft complies.
• Backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g standard.
• Wire-free access to networked resources from anywhere beyond the desktop.
• Interference resistant designed guarantee reliable performance.
• Delivers data rate up to 300Mbps.
• Allows users move between Access Points without resetting their connection
reconfiguration.
• Support WEP64/128, WPA and WPA2
• Support WDS, WMM, mBSSIDs (up to 8),
• Dynamic WEP key exchange support
• Support MiniPCI interface(MII signal or MiniPCI signal)

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Interference Statement
The device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
Conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operations.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio/television reception, which can be
determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
1 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2 Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
• This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the antenna(s) used
for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must
