1.6 Wireless Operation Modes
1.6.1 AP Router (Default Setting)
In this mode, you can share your 3G Internet connection and/or broadband connection. If 
you do not have a 3G USB dongle, you can still share your ADSL modem, xDSL mdoem, 
or Cable Modem connections. If you have both 3G and Broadband, you can use both for 
connection backup. 
1.6.2 AP Only
When operating in the Access Point mode, the N450R becomes the center hub of the 
wireless network. All wireless cards and clients connect and communicate through N450R. 
This type of network is known as “Infrastructure Network”. Other N450R can connect to 
AP mode through “Adapter Mode”. 
1.6.3 WDS Repeater
In WDS Repeater mode, the N450R functions as a repeater that extends the range of 
remote wireless LAN. In this mode, the remote Access Point must have WDS (Wireless 
Distribution System) capability. If you require the PC’s MAC addresses to be preserved 
when the data pass through the Repeater, it is necessary to use the WDS Repeater mode. 
Because the radio is divided into WDS + AP mode, the Repeater mode will have less 
performance and distance.
