Introduction
What is MIMO? What’s the history? What issues are addressed? What are the goals? is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. It is one of several forms of smart antenna technology. Note that the terms input and output refer to the radio channel carrying the signal, not to the devices having antennas.

Advantages and Disadvantages of MIMO
Identify all advantages and disadvantages of MIMO.
1. Some of the benefits to using MIMO routers include faster speeds, greater distances between your paired devices, more simultaneous users, less signal fading and dead spots, and better resistance to interference.
2. Another important advantage is that throughput at on home networks are having a lower drop rate. Traditionally WLANs operated at distances of up to 300 feet, with perhaps less if walls or floors were in the way.

Although MIMO routers are more expensive than other 802.11g routers, prices are expected to fall as the technology matures. The second disadvantage is that there is the impending release of the 802.11n router. This version would offer more distance and throughput but may not be ratified until the summer of 2007 or even later. Although some consumers are willing to wait
