Wifi 6, 802.11ax, recent market entry, affordable price, see specs.

Easy to use with the app also paired it with tp link extenders good range WORKS GREAT FOR MY 2500 square ft house even from the basement! huge upgrade from the base fios router we had before


Easy setup Good features for my needs

It's small which makes it perfect for traveling.


So far right off the box Ive noticed close to what my ISP advertises in terms of upload and download speeds. Never again will I get tricked into using their routers because that stink!

6GHz band works better than previous 6e router.

Blazing fast, good app, wide range

+ Synology Router Manager (SRM) is genius! + Great performance + "Smart Connect" + A lot of features + Synology SSL VPN + Standard VPN Options + Guided prompts when needed This review was difficult to write only because I have a lot of great things to say about it. What do people really want to know about the RT2600ac? How do I express the depth of the features without rambling? The Synology Router Manager (SRM) is their desktop-esque Web UI to administer the router. It is near identical to their NAS' DiskStation Manager (DSM) trimmed down to router relevant controls. It is clear, concise, and intuitive. No other router that I have used is this simple to manage. The performance all-around is superb. Management tasks, wifi speed, Ethernet traffic, and Internet access all work as expected, if not better. EDIT: My original review understated the wifi strength and performance. I recently did some more performance experimentation with distance and obstructions. Most of my devices were already on a mesh network due to my previous routers in ability to provide a sufficient signal to the farthest and obstructed parts of the house. My initial coverage tests showed that the RT2600ac signal coverage and strength to be better than my previous router; however, my pre-edit review did not do the RT2600ac justice in stating how well. I also had an existing mesh network in place so I did not review the RT2600ac as objectively as I should have. Since then, the particular mesh network product that I own has been very problematic in bridge mode and I decided to give the RT2600ac more of a chance to prove itself. I switched all of my wifi devices to the RT2600ac network and I have been very impressed with its performance. So much so that I took the time to update this review. To give you an idea of how well it performs, my two farthest devices are media streaming devices: an NVidia SHIELD and a Chromecast. The signal strength on both devices are surprisingly strong. From the router to the SHIELD is about 45 ft through the office wall, the kitchen wall, and entertainment center. From the router to the farthest Chromecast is another 10 ft from the shield through two more walls and in an entertainment center. The streaming performance for both of them have been stellar. They are performing just as well on the RT2600ac as they did on the mesh. No delays in with buffering, no downgrading of video resolution, etc. I took down my bridged mesh network and boxed it up. End Edit. The "Smart Connect" is a must have for all routers this day forward and the RT2600ac has it. If the 5GHz signal is strong, then use it for speed; otherwise, switch to 2.4GHz for reliability. You do not need to configure a 5GHz connection and then a 2.4GHz anymore. One SSID and you're good to go. There is a long list of features freely available on the Synology router and all of which you should research. It has everything you would expect on a router and then features like File services, Download Station, QuickConnect, free DDNS from Synology, reporting, and mobile push notifications to name a few. The Parental Controls are top notch too. In addition to the standard VPN options, Synology also provides their "Synology SSL VPN" which is the easiest VPN I have ever configured. I have not done any performance or protection comparisons between Synology's SSL VPN and OpenVPN, but I can say connecting and performance seem to be quicker with the SSL VPN. Take that with a grain of salt since I am just relying on my perception. If you've ever configured a Synology NAS, then you know how easy they make that experience. They did a great job in the SRM too and they didn't skimp on the hardware.


Good Coverage Easy to Manage


We now use this new router in our RV to connect up our cell phone to both TVs and a hard drive containing hundreds of movies and songs. We love the fact that we can now connect to campground internet and not have to connect multiple devices to that internet.
