Mimo Internal Wireless card

Hello, I just bought a Belkin Pre-N router and so far it is awesome.  But I was wondering if there is a Pre-N or internal wifi card that is compatible with the belkin router to get the best performance?

    I'd seriously doubt it -- any given how MIMO technology works, even if you found the card, you'd likely need to retool the internal antennas

    Since the Pre-N technology used in the Belkin router is pretty much proprietary to Belkin, you would need a Belkin wireless adapter.  I don't think Belkin makes any MiniPCI Pre-N wireless adapters (at least they aren't shown on their web page). 

    Hopefully you are not trying to improve the performance of your internet connectin with this router, as the internet connection speed is limited by your ISP.

    OK, thanks anyway. The regular Intel 2200BG works flawlessly with it so far. I was just curious. I mainly got the new router for the girlfriend who has a desktop where it would be very hard to get a cable to. I got her a belkin card and it seems to work much faster now for wireless transfers. I had a netgear before this (WRG614) and it would seem to lag a little bit on file transfers.

    Anyways the router has a lot more features and I didn't want to get the new netgear one because the chipset it uses isn't as good as the belkin (acording to TWiT).

    Awesome router though.
