1.6.4 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.
1.6.5 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.
