Synology Router RT2600ac

Blazing-fast Wi-Fi with up to 2.53Gbps combined wireless bandwidth to supercharge your Internet experience. RT2600ac is a powerful wireless router for homes and small offices seeking to understand, control, and secure their network. Now coming with mesh Wi-Fi technology, its coverage becomes easily expandable with additional Synology MR2200ac.

 

Engineered for performance

Supporting MU-MIMO and the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, RT2600ac enables up to 800Mbps and 1733Mbps on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios respectively. Reach 2Gbps combined bandwidth with Dual WAN,1 and easily optimize your network with minimal performance loss even with app-based traffic control.

 

Top software experience

The soul of RT2600ac is the Synology Router Manager (SRM). It takes the complexity out of your network, and makes what's happening in the traffic visible and straightforward.

Streamlined setup

Whether you're doing it from a smartphone or computer, setting up RT2600ac is a breeze. Getting your Internet up and running takes just a couple of minutes.

Powerful Connectivity Management

Smart WAN allows RT2600ac to fail-over or load-balance between dual ISP connections to ensure Internet availability, whereas QuickConnect makes enabling remote access incredibly simple.

Granular Traffic Control

App- and device-based Quality of Service (QoS) lets you set higher bandwidth for gaming or VoIP applications while throttling BitTorrent downloads. Real-time and historical traffic data are organized into easy-to-read charts and reports, so you can identify any bottlenecks or anomalies.

Wi-Fi made smarter

RT2600ac's excellent Wi-Fi throughput is backed by a modern experience - automatic, scalable, and highly customizable.

 

Intelligent web filtering & parental controls

The Safe Access package on RT2600ac doesn't only offer a free cross-platform solution for you to create a kid-friendly online world. It also gives you a better understanding of each user and device's Internet usage, including those IoT gadgets silently working in the background.

Profiles

Create a user profile to manage all devices someone owns at once, while letting LAN and guest Wi-Fi profiles take care of other unspecified devices connecting to your network.

Time management

Set time limits and schedules. Encourage your kids to use their time wisely, and reserve some quality time for family.

Internet filtering

Safeguard kids from adult-only content and search results, or even set up a whitelist of approved websites for younger children. Web filters can be scheduled to ensure no social media during homework hours.

 

Usage insights

Any device accessing the Internet in the middle of the night when they shouldn't be, or anyone being blocked by web filters? You see it here.

 

Business-grade security

In addition to a track record of fast and continuous updates to guard itself against emerging threats, RT2600ac boasts a series of advanced features to protect the entire network from the router level.

Threat Prevention

Leveraging intrusion prevention technology, Threat Prevention inspects incoming and outgoing traffic on your network and automatically blocks malicious packets from passing through - all while retaining stellar Internet speeds. 2

Built-in Security Databases

Integrating Google Safe Browsing and other DNS and IP threat intelligence databases, Safe Access prevents devices from accidentally accessing websites related to malware, phishing, botnets, social engineering, and more.

 

Best-in-class VPN server

VPN Plus's Synology SSL VPN and WebVPN give you fast, intuitive, and secure access to your internal network, whereas site-to-site VPN allows you to connect multiple remote offices together. A long list of other supported protocols and management functionality is available to give IT admins better control over VPN connections. 4

Easy to use Router

Reasonably easy to setup on Spark Fibre. Used settings on Spark site for non-Spark Modem to get it talking to the ONT.
Good QOS and monitoring features. Easy firmware updates for the SRM. Alerts and Scheduled Reports can be emailed to you.
Compared to Spark's Huawei Router/WIFI, this unit has a very powerful WIFI range. What was 3/5 bars at 30 metres in steel framed house, the Synology is 5/5 bars.
Have setup a 5GB USB stick to store log files ... so easy to do.

Strong wifi signal everywhere

Super strong wifi with huge range. Was using standard Spark router and was having lots of connectivity and speed issues. The Synology Router RT2600ac is fast and has a huge range. If you are looking for fast and reliable wifi this product is awesome. Took 15 minutes to set up and has worked perfectly since.

awesome router

have used synology NAS for years now (still run a couple) - I chose them as the best option to trust all my data with - and this router just builds on that reputation. fantastic software, head and shoulders above the competition in both power and simplicity. great parental controls, awesome mesh support (i have synology satellite wifi [points too). everything about this is really well thought through.

Great product

The best thing I did was get the Synology Router RT2600ac.
Whoever designed it thought of everything. It is very configurable and feature rich.
It has a web front end for configuring and mobile app interface as well.
Don’t get hung up on the price. Once you have used it you will see the value.
Synology have great documentation on line which explains all the features and settings.
There is excellent video’s on Utube as well for the product.
The wifi is Very reliable and strong through the whole home.

Better than expected

So easy to set up, much better than the Spark provided router, no device drop outs after 1 months use, was previously getting periodic drops with the Spark router. Auto negotiation works a breeze, nice security features. Great router for the price.

Excellent coverage

This router is steps ahead of the ones provided by our ISP. We have a two level house and the WiFi signal from the ISP router was weak and unreliable downstairs. With the Synology router the WiFi signal is strong throughout the house with no need for a booster. Not cheap but very good value for money.

Great router, super simple to set up with myrepublic fibre

Easy setup, greater internet (more range + better speeds compared to the default myrepublic one) works extremely well with the Synology disk stations, and looks mean!

The only downside I can think of is the price for it, considering it was released in 2016, (have range / speed advancements been made since then?) however that doesn’t mean to say it isn’t worth it.

Excellent Router - Very Strong WiFi

Baught the Synology Router to replace the router supplied by Spark for my 1Gb Fibre MAX Broadband connection. The new Synology router is so much better, it's very easy to set up and has a great user interface, I had it up and running inside an hour. Over the few weeks since I bought it I have noticed the Synology is much more stable and has not needed to be "re-booted" at all. Compare that to my old Spark router and I was always haveing to re-boot it because the WiFi had stopped working or the connection to the internet had dropped out. Also the WiFi coverage on this Synology router is way better, I could not get WiFi coverege in the...view more

Engineered for performance

Supporting MU-MIMO and the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, RT2600ac enables up to 800Mbps and 1733Mbps on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios respectively. Reach 2Gbps combined bandwidth with Dual WAN,1 and easily optimize your network with minimal performance loss even with app-based traffic control.

 

Top software experience

The soul of RT2600ac is the Synology Router Manager (SRM). It takes the complexity out of your network, and makes what's happening in the traffic visible and straightforward.

Streamlined setup

Whether you're doing it from a smartphone or computer, setting up RT2600ac is a breeze. Getting your Internet up and running takes just a couple of minutes.

Powerful Connectivity Management

Smart WAN allows RT2600ac to fail-over or load-balance between dual ISP connections to ensure Internet availability, whereas QuickConnect makes enabling remote access incredibly simple.

Granular Traffic Control

App- and device-based Quality of Service (QoS) lets you set higher bandwidth for gaming or VoIP applications while throttling BitTorrent downloads. Real-time and historical traffic data are organized into easy-to-read charts and reports, so you can identify any bottlenecks or anomalies.

Wi-Fi made smarter

RT2600ac's excellent Wi-Fi throughput is backed by a modern experience - automatic, scalable, and highly customizable.

 

Intelligent web filtering & parental controls

The Safe Access package on RT2600ac doesn't only offer a free cross-platform solution for you to create a kid-friendly online world. It also gives you a better understanding of each user and device's Internet usage, including those IoT gadgets silently working in the background.

Profiles

Create a user profile to manage all devices someone owns at once, while letting LAN and guest Wi-Fi profiles take care of other unspecified devices connecting to your network.

Time management

Set time limits and schedules. Encourage your kids to use their time wisely, and reserve some quality time for family.

Internet filtering

Safeguard kids from adult-only content and search results, or even set up a whitelist of approved websites for younger children. Web filters can be scheduled to ensure no social media during homework hours.

 

Usage insights

Any device accessing the Internet in the middle of the night when they shouldn't be, or anyone being blocked by web filters? You see it here.

 

Business-grade security

In addition to a track record of fast and continuous updates to guard itself against emerging threats, RT2600ac boasts a series of advanced features to protect the entire network from the router level.

Threat Prevention

Leveraging intrusion prevention technology, Threat Prevention inspects incoming and outgoing traffic on your network and automatically blocks malicious packets from passing through - all while retaining stellar Internet speeds. 2

Built-in Security Databases

Integrating Google Safe Browsing and other DNS and IP threat intelligence databases, Safe Access prevents devices from accidentally accessing websites related to malware, phishing, botnets, social engineering, and more.

 

Best-in-class VPN server

VPN Plus's Synology SSL VPN and WebVPN give you fast, intuitive, and secure access to your internal network, whereas site-to-site VPN allows you to connect multiple remote offices together. A long list of other supported protocols and management functionality is available to give IT admins better control over VPN connections. 4
