UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Netgear technical support. I made it clear to them that I just wanted to know if their product was capable of being put into bridge mode, and if so, where in the manual I could find that information. She was very reluctant to answer my question without charging me for it. She was not able to find a manual for the product on her end, and after a couple of minutes of trying to get me to a proper spot in the manual (using PDF search for DHCP, which occurs 36 times in the manual), gave up and concluded it was not possible to put this device into bridge mode, and told me to go out an buy a different modem. So, there you go, according to Netgear, it is not possible to put the N450 into bridge mode.

Hello Lizmari
That is correct there is no real way to make this modem only what you could do is turn off the SSID broadcast and then under LAN settings you can disable the DHCP server and then connect it to the router but this might not be the best solution.
