Compatible With 802.11a/b/g/n - SNMP - Link Rate in 11ac Mode

Is the R6100 WiFi Router backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n?
Yes. The R6100 WiFi Router is backward compatible with legacy standards.

Does the R6100 have SNMP feature?
NETGEAR home routers does not have SNMP feature.

I use an 802.11n wireless adapter to connect to my R6100 WiFi Router, which supports 802.11ac; do I have a higher link rate than if I connect to an 802.11n router?
No. In this configuration, the throughout is limited by the 11n adapter. That's because the 11n wireless adapter cannot create an 11ac connection with the R6100 WiFi Router.

What is the maximum link rate for the R6100 WiFi Router in 11ac mode?
The link rate depends on the computer networking standard that your wireless devices support. If you use 11n wireless devices to connect with the R6100 WiFi Router, the maximum connection link rate is 300 Mbps. To take advantage of the higher 802.11ac WiFi speeds, you must connect to the R6100 WiFi Router with an 802.11ac client device, such as the NETGEAR 11 ac A6200 Wireless Aapter. If you connect the R6100 WiFi Router with the NETGEAR 11ac A6200 Wireless Adapter, the maximum connection link rate is 867 Mbps.
