It will connect at 450 if it's a 3-stream AC dongle.

Could I just buy a Netgear AC1200 stick from Maplins tomorrow and have at it or do I need to pick the right one?

If only these AC123456 marketing buzzwords actually told us anything useful about the product...

I'm lost with AC and how it acts for N routers, but it's pointless buying an N adapter when I may find AC routers in the field I can take advantage of. But I want my full 450 at home.
Can I have my cake and eat it too? Please advise, wise ones.

An AC dongle will just connect at the maximum N speeds it's capable of, which in general is determined by its stream count.
