What is the only wireless mode you can be in when connecting a MikroTik station as a routed client?

Explanation:
When you want a MikroTik device to act as a routed client, the wireless interface must operate as a wireless client to an access point. That means the correct mode is Station. In Station mode the device behaves like a client, connects to an AP, and routes traffic from its local network through that link, which is exactly how a routed client should function. Other modes serve different roles: AP mode makes the device act as an access point for other wireless clients, not as a client connecting to an AP. Bridge mode places the wireless interface on the same layer-2 network as the wired interface, removing routing between networks. Repeater mode extends wireless coverage but typically involves bridging and repeated frames, not a straightforward routed client setup. So Station is the appropriate choice for a routed client.
