AV1200 router model 6120

My old Netgear in 300 Wi-Fi router died. Looking at buying the AC 1200 model 6120. Will this new router see the adapter stick that is plugged in to my USB port on my computer for the old n300 or will I need something different

    1. I'd recommend upgrading to a gigabit router. The R6120 is only 10/100mbps connections. A little more cost and you can get gigabit. Many ISP's are switching to faster base speeds.

    2. the actual wireless device is what connects to the router, not the other way around. And most devices should all connect fine. I haven't had a wireless device not work in a long time.
