VERDICT

This

router

little

overpriced

IT'

the

Belkin

AC1200 DB doesn'

Instead

ships

with

into

This

makes

the

bulky

unit

but

means

you

need

only

one

plug

socket

for

both

modem

and

The

plug

socket

has

a built-in RJ-45

port

but

this

actually

ADSL

input

and

takes

your

RJ-11

phone

cable

It'

unusual

but

everything

works.

There

are

two cables from

the

modem

plug

one

supplies

power

and

the

other

connects

a yellow

WAN

port

marked

Modem . You

can'

use

standard

Ethernet

WAN

connection because

the

current

firmware

doesn'

t support

this

There also

are

four

Gigabit

Ethernet

ports

and

two

USB

ports ,

for

connecting

external

hard

disks

and

sharing

printers

over

your

network.

The

1200

DB stands

upright

and looks

fairly

snazzy

but

you

can'

it.

There

aren'
