Overall the Synology Router RT2600ac is an excellent product that does justice to the Synology name. While the product isn't the prettiest nor is it the absolute fastest, most cutting edge with next generation stuff like tri-band connectivity, it's a soli...
The Synology RT2600ac should appeal to the same 'net-savvy individual that was tempted by the RT1900ac. The $389 asking price is a significant amount of money for a router, but at the same time it's not much when compared to its rivals from Asus and Links...
With Synology's second entry into the router market, they cleaned things up quite a bit by adding in new features and much more powerful hardware. This has led to a more refined product with performance that tops my charts. In fact, the only occasion wher...
