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.

Overview

 

Features

• Not only is the RT2600 one of the fastest Wi-Fi routers on the market, it also has the most comprehensive set of features. If youre looking to build a robust, non-compromising, secure home network, this is the router to get.
• This may be my favorite router now when it comes to parental controls. Synology, in my opinion, is years ahead now of anybody that I’d consider to be their competitors in this space.
• “With its reliable performance and granular traffic/IP management features, Synology’s mesh system has helped us solve all the Wi-Fi challenges we faced in our staff dormitory.”
• “The kindergarten cannot be a media-free room. We therefore looked to Synology to help us set up a wireless network so we could best prepare our children for the digital future.”
• “In a fast-paced hotel environment, communication is essential for smooth operations. The RT2600ac and MR2200ac routers have provided a reliable Wi-Fi environment, enabling our staff to always be connected no matter where they are. With solid communication in place, we can focus on what matters the most, providing an unforgettable experience for our guests.”
