           Says who, where?  Which "it" is that?  The Product Data Sheet for the
        R6100 is pretty clear about "ac": "AC1200 Dual Band", "AC1200 WiFi",
        "Backward compatible with 802.11n", and so on.  What little I could find
        on the DTIW384 UHD suggests that it, too, does "ac": "Wi-Fi ac Dual
        Band".

           As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error
        messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
        descriptions or interpretations.

           Generally, no.  Any normal "ac" access point will negotiate down to
        "n", if required.
