1.4.5 How to Operate

DO NOT connect the router to power before performing the installation steps below.

Step 1: Screw the antenna in a clockwise direction to the back panel of the unit.

1. Introduction

Step 2: Plug the RJ45 cable into LAN port 1~4 and connect with your PC or NB.

Step 3: Plug your RJ-45 into the WAN port and connect with your xDSL modem.

Step 4: Plug the power jack into it.

Step 5: Power ON.

Step 6: Prepare a USB Storage and then plug into the USB port.

1. Introduction

1.5 Wireless Operation Modes

1.5.1 AP Router

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.

1.5.2 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”.

1.5.3 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.

AirLive N450R User’s Manual

1. Introduction

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.
