Mesh networking

Mesh networking features freestanding, non-wired network nodes that communicate among one another and form self-configuring networks, with only one node required to hook into a wired LAN. The other nodes are simply plugged in to an electrical outlet, so cabling is much less of an issue.

MIMO

Multiple Input Multiple Output refers to using multiple antennas in a WiFi device to improve performance and throughput. The MIMO technology takes advantage of a characteristic called multipath, which occurs when a radio transmission starts out at point A and then reflects off or passes through surfaces or objects before arriving, via multiple paths, at point B. MIMO technology uses multiple antennas to collect and organize signals arriving via these paths. The technology is expected to be used in the 802.11n standard.
