For early adopters looking for 11ac technology, even before the ratification of the latest 802.11 wireless standard, Belkin AC 1200 router offers good performance and robust hardware, although software issues, and little performance benefit in 11ac mode, dampen the full user experience.

Despite the novelty of 802.11ac support, the Belkin AC 1200 is a mundane, though decent, Wi-Fi router.

his 802.11ac router offers fairly fast speeds, easy setup and useful parental controls, but competitors offer more features.

Belkin's AC 1200 router costs less than many 802.11ac routers, but it delivers a whole lot less, too.

Its 802.11ac function is a little slow for our taste, especially considering the competition has higher speeds available, but it's a baby step towards the next best thing in wireless networking, and more affordable than most other 802.11ac products at the moment, too.

Overall, it's a very good user-friendly AC modem router.
