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

Great speeds and easy setup

By far the best router I've ever owned, simple to setup with the DSM software installed, and if you already own a Synolody NAS then its very familiar. Ver customisable with a tonne of features, and the wifi speed is insane.

An excellent router Highly recommended!!!!

Definitely the best router I have used. Great WIFI coverage and strong signals throughout the house. I bought this router because I wanted SMB 2 for file sharing, almost all of the other routers only support the obsolete SMB1. Very easy to configure all of the powerful features Highly recommended!!!

Wonderful

I had a Netgear D6200, it was struggling with hosting the DHCP table with all the extra smart home bits, 3 AP points and mobile phones/laptops.
I did a bit of research and found Synology was a trusted brand. Specifically this router was more suited for a small business (so should be fine with a large home), had powerful range, and an app to monitor the network status.
Wow, I am so very pleased with it.
Not once have I had to reset APs or the router itself to resolve IP conflicts, and I've been using it for about 1 month. I can even remove one of my APs due to the improved range.
I would highly recommend to those looking for a reliable, la...view more

Best damn router for the money!

Fantastic router for the money. Handles my smart home with ease (30 connected devices in total) and so many features that make it a family friendly router, set up profiles for each family member and their devices, to monitor and protect children. Cannot recommend this router more!

Mr

A very good Router. WiFi coverage and speed phenomenal. Some issues connecting to Spark that aren't mentioned on their website, you need to set the Vtd to 10 in the IPTV & VoIP tab. Thereafter I had to restart (turn off & on) the ONT and Router.

Synology RT2600ac Router- Very Fast

Top (equal) Router in Consumer NZ test on routers . Awesome router (note its a router only it doesnt come with a modem but you wont need a modem if you are on fibre ...need modem only if you are still on copper ADSL & VDSL) . Reasonable set up ..I found it not as straight forward as others on review list but I am not a tech minded person..lucky for me my neighbour is in IT and came to my rescue. Awesome signal strength on both 2.4 & 5 with large bandwidth signal. My (free & useless) Spark router was working at snails pace compared to this router. This router is definitely FAST.. plus it has a reasonably friendly control panel-interface.

Taking back control of teen internet usage!

I love this router, we purchased 2 months ago. It allows each family member to have their own profile containing all of their devices. Easy to have on/off times for internet or set a time allowance which they choose how to share between all of their devices. Profiles can be set to block social media, entertainment, shopping channels and R18 from their school Chrome books. Very easy to pause internet access or give extra time if they have a project to finish. Downside would be there is little information out there on drilling down into settings, e.g I know it is possible to allow social media at specific times (and block it during...view more

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
