Overview

Most of the information on this page was copied from the XR500 since the FCC ID is

the same. This router appears to be a feature-limited XR500 exclusively for Costco.

Changes from the XR500 to this XR450 include the removal of non-standard 256QAM

support for the 2.4GHz radio which reduces the maximum speed from 800Mbps to

600Mbps for 2.4GHz 802.11n.
