1.5.4 WDS Only

This mode is also known as “WDS Pure MAC Bridge mode”. When configured to

operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the N450R provides bridging

functions with remote LAN networks in the WDS system. Each bridge can only associate

with maximum of 4 other bridges in the WDS configuration. This mode is best used when

you want to connect LAN networks together wirelessly. This mode usually delivers faster

performance than infrastructure mode.

1.5.5 Adapter Mode

This mode is also known as “Client” mode. N450r acts as if it is a wireless adapter to

connect with a remote Access Point. Users can attach a computer or a router to the LAN

port of N450R to get network access. This mode is often used by WISP on the

subscriber’s side.
