Verdict

The Belkin AC1200 DB is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) router featuring theoretical speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, split between 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band. It includes four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, one WAN port, and two USB 2.0 ports for sharing printers or external storage. Key characteristics include its distinctive upright 'shark fin' chassis, internal multi-beam antenna technology, and Simple Start browser-based setup. Main pros include its user-friendly installation, solid 5 GHz performance, and robust parental controls powered by Norton. However, notable cons include its dual-stream limitation compared to three-stream AC1750 competitors, a lack of LAN/WAN port status LEDs, and a vertical-only design that can be prone to toppling due to its narrow base.
