Synology RT2600ac – 4x4 dual-band Gigabit Wi-Fi router, MU-MIMO, powerful parental controls, Threat Prevention, bandwidth management, VPN, expandable coverage with mesh Wi-Fi

This is a great piece of kit. Performance has been good and the price is very decent for what you get. The only gripe i have is the boot time is a little bit slow. Other than that this is a good purchase.

I was looking for a good router to mange my kids. This is a great router for this and it's was why more powerfull then i thouht reading up on it. Great choise for parents who need controll over your kids and all of there devices.

I am an experienced IT Infrastructure professional, and this is by far the best set of features and ease of use I've come across in a home router including units that cost much more. This unit could easily handle a small business/retail office as well. There's not much you can't do with this, and you don't have to spend hours getting it set up. Took me about 30 min including the VPN server and Threat protection. I won't deep dive into the features as there many videos out there for that but the VPN server, Threat protection and parental control (best implementation of this I have seen) features are all superb and all included for no extra cost. The VPN server includes 40 free client licenses on this router which is an amazing deal and there are Apple and Android apps available. This is the best way to access your network remotely for cameras, NAS and such. Do not open up access for those things through your firewall or you're asking for trouble. VPN is the way. The VPN even supports 2 factor authentication for added security. Here are some minor complaints: 1) I received a used unit at first. I had to factory reset it to be able to set this up. This was Amazon's fault and they resolved it to my satisfaction. 2) Only 1 USB port. There should be 2 since you'll need 1 for storage if you use Threat Protection. 3) Only 1 2.5Gb Ethernet LAN port. There should be 1 for the WAN port and 1 or more for LAN. 4) Only 4 LAN ports. There should be more ideally, although external switches are pretty cheap these days. 5) It did not do a good job of selecting the 5Ghz channels. There were much better unused/less used channels available that I had to manually set. Get yourself a good Wifi analyzer app for your phone so you can avoid the same channels all your neighbors are using. This should be done with any Wifi router and is a good investment of time unless you live in the boonies. I mostly have 5Ghz channels all to myself now. 6) Would have liked to see wifi 6E in this. Not a huge deal since 6E is not any faster than 6 (2.4gb max speed with 160 mhz channels). 6E gets you access to the 6Ghz spectrum which would only help if 2.4 and 5Ghz are really congested (apartment building, city, etc.) Otherwise, don't waste your money and wait for Wifi 7 which will really speed things up with 320Mhz channels. 7) They tout the 5.9Ghz spectrum support in Wifi 6. There are very few devices out there that support this. This would only be useful if you are meshing multiple of the newer Synology routers and used it for wireless backhaul which is why I suspect they support it.

Synology es una marca que ya tiene una buena reputación de sus productos y este nuevo router no se queda atrás. Muy buena administración y te permite separar tus redes hasta en 5 de ellas, las cuales pueden interactuar entre si o pueden ser independientes. Muy recomendable 👌 👍

No router was able to do it. It was able to block all YouTube URLs.

Cas d'usage : maison avec tablettes, pc, mac, Domotique divers lecteurs multimédia, caméra ip, TV connectées etc. (30 périphériques connectés) Une solution simple et efficace pour gérer son réseau. Contrôle parental au top. Attention c'est chaque périphérique (considéré comme individuel) qui est associé à un utilisateur/profil ... donc ne fonctionne que si vous mettez le téléphone et/ou la tablette ou PC ou Mac associé au profil "enfant". Pour être très clair : pas de périphérique partager enfants/parents ! (fonction Safe access) Evite d'installer quelque chose que l'enfant pourra/saura désactiver ... la solution est centrale et traite tout ce qui est connecté au réseau ! Je croyais cela compliqué de conserver sa box et ses services (tv et téléphone) tout en mettant ce routeur derrière pour gérer tout le filaire et le wifi, du coup j'hésitai a sauter le pas. En fait avec les bons conseils ça reste simple ... Fidèle des solutions Synology (déjà 3 NAS), je ne suis pas déçu ! pas besoin de bricoler, ça marche tout simplement, bien intégré, bonne interface etc. On est parfois un peu surpris au début de ce qui circule sur son réseau et tout ce qui est envoyé parfois considéré (à tard ou à raison ...) comme dangereux ... (fonction threat prévention)
