Does it support 802.11ac?

I believe it does, but the router is a Piece of Junk. Worked for about a week, now it constantly looses wifi (10+ times a day) and will even be totally unrecognizable by the Netgear genie so nothing at all will work, so when it does it you have to completely reformat the router and reinstall the genie software.

No. NETGEAR AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router Fast Ethernet w/USB 2.0 (R6100-100PAS) shows the available ports.

I had the same question - I did find this ...The first thing to get out of the way is - like past Wi-Fi standards - 802.11ac is backwards compatible with 802.11b, g and n. This means you can buy an 802.11ac-equipped device and it will work just fine with your existing router.Read more at http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/802-11ac-vs-802-11n-what-s-the-difference

If your laptop or tablet is 802.11n capable, yes. You need to check your device's specs to see.

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

It supports 802.11ac, a/b/g, nhttp://ark.intel.com/products/75442/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-3160

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

Yes it does do "AC" aka 5g. It works with my Belkin AC120 router on both 2.4g and 5g

Keep in mind that this is a 802.11ac adapter, and as such, an expensive one. Check with your Wi-Fi provider which type of 802.11 they will offer, whether 802.11n 2.4 GHz, 802.11n 5 GHz, or 802.11ac (if it is not any of these 3, then it is a rather bad free Wi-Fi). If it is not 802.11ac, you do not need this adapter, and can purchase a cheaper 802.11n one, unless you want investment protection, since the 11ac adapters are compatible with the previous formats. That being said, I cannot recommend this Asus USB-AC56 adapter, unfortunately. In my Windows 8.1 64-bit, I had nothing but connection losses and BSODs. See my review for this product.

It's a great router! If you have a late model Apple product or other high performance equipment that has the 802.11AC WiFi installed, then you want to get this modem/router, it's a noticeable difference from the 802.11N.
