The editors liked
Solid Wi-Fi performance
MU-MIMO provides future proofing
Excellent SRM operating system
Can double as a capable NAS
App store has potential
Synology's done a good job of giving you more software features and capabilities than many other routers offer
And thanks to its OS-like interface those are generally fairly easy to use. Some advanced features will require a bit more networking knowledge
Consistent speeds
User-friendly design
Packed with useful features
Superb web portal
Heaps of useful extra features
Excellent filehandling tools
The RT2600 has long range
Fast Wi-Fi speed and plenty of features. The router can host more than one broadband connection
And also works as a robust network storage server when coupled with an external hard drive. It also includes state of the art firmw
Quick setup
SRM platform is excellent
Extensive media server capabilities
Solid speed and range on 5GHz band
Competitive price
The editors didn't like
Costs over £200
Ungainly form factor
Not available with built-in modem
Its old-school design doesn't look as slick or unassuming as some of its newer counterparts – most networking companies have moved beyond this functional
Plain-Jane look to with glossier and more stylish exteriors that frankly look better when plonked do
Not the fastest speeds
Closest rivals cost less
Topline speeds aren't the fastest
Only four Ethernet ports
Single 5GHz radio
There's no support for combining two LAN ports into a single superfast connection and you might wish the router had more than five network ports

The Synology RT2600ac isn't exactly a bargain, but if its features suit your needs, it's a superb little router – and every time you open up the interface to check your network status or change a setting, you'll be glad you chose it...

Abstract: One of the most common annoyances of modern man is a poorly functioning WiFi connection. Especially now that more and more devices are becoming connected and it only gets busier in the ether, it can do no harm to take a good look at your current equipment...

Looking at the results, we see that none of the 11 models score particularly badly in the 5 GHz throughput test while in the same test on 2,4 GHz band the fastest router's speed is twice as high as that of the slowest router. This also applies to the real...
Abstract: Also see: Best Tech Deals There are two types of routers, those with built-in modems and those without. Although we still call them wireless routers, there's no need as there aren't any 'wired' routers any more: all have built-in Wi-Fi. That's what makes...
Synology has approached the router with the same design ethic as their excellent NAS range, and the RT2600ac is the stunning result. Where other router makers talk-the-talk of security, flexibility and performance, the RT2600ac unequivocally delivers on t...

The RT2600ac is a joy to use and while it doesn't quite make setting up its more complex networking/NAS features idiot-proof, it does go some way to making the process more straightforward than on other routers. The Wi-Fi performance was adequate in testi...
Quick setup, SRM platform is excellent, Extensive media server capabilities, Solid speed and range on 5GHz band, Competitive price
2.4GHz band isn't flawless, Could use more LAN ports, DS Router mobile app is barebones
Yes, if you want a router that you can tweak to your heart's content without spending hours doing so. Synology RT2600ac's price point of $240 is more than most users will want to spend, it's reasonable for a router with its feature set...

Abstract: Synology has launched RT2600ac – a new router Taiwanese brand. Synology RT2600ac is an evolution of the previous model, RT1900ac, but it is more powerful and is focused on a more professional use. Of course, just like the previous model, the RT2600ac is a...
