This router has MIXED MODE which should support AC-B-G Devices. Your devices also have to have wireless capability. Buying this device doesn't instantly make your devices wireless capable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I connected the AC-1200 to a very old Paradyne router provided by my internet service provider. The internet service is DSL using a standard phone cord from the wall plate into the Paradyne unit, then an ethernet cable into the Linksys AC-1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router, which then wirelessly connects my laptops to the internet. However, the AC-1200 unit has weaker signal strength than an older Linksys router I was using previously. This means I had to move one my older laptops with an older wireless adapter card closer to the AC-1200 to maintain a signal strong enough to avoid temporary disconnections (due to lost signal). If your devices are within perhaps 20 feet of the router and only one wall for the signal to pass through, you'll probably have no problems.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably. If you run an ethernet cable from your DSL modem to the router it should work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not that I'm aware of.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure about B-band(it should). I know it will do G. Most routers if not all are backward compatible except "A". If not mistaken it is part of IEEE standard for wifi. Example AC router 802.11ac will work G,N, and AC(should do b)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a cable modem, just connected this router to the ethernet port on the cable modem and the wireless works fine for b/g.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
