When it comes to wireless routers, not many brands offer the consistency and quality that Synology brings to the table. After the highly successful RT1900AC Router, Synology is back with a new model of wireless router. Christened, the RT2600AC, the router packs a much bigger punch compared to its already capable predecessor. Costing almost $80 more than the RT1900AC, the Synology RT2600AC gives you a definite bang for the buck by offering the users one of the most comprehensive sets of features in the router market.

Synology RT2600 AC Router is a beast among

network routers  in its league

Like all 2600AC routers, the Synology RT2600AC Router is a quad stream router which can hit speeds up to 1733 megabits per second on the 5 GHz band while the 2.4GHz band can get the RT2600AC to hit speeds up to 800Mbps. While these numbers may be a pretty much standard issue for most high-performance routers in the market, what makes the Synology RT2600AC stand out is its operating system, also known as, the Synology Router Management.

The speciality of the Synology Router Management OS is that while it still operated through the web, the overall interface is completely light, optimised and more user-friendly. Most routers in the market have the users go through a huge hassle in order to get configurations or make settings changes on their router. The Synology RT2600AC is nothing like the rest. The whole process is an absolute treat and very hassle-free.

Another little feature that users get is the free DS-router app, which lets you control the router settings using your smartphone both at home or when you are away. Overall, setting up this router is more in sync with setting up a new computer than setting up a network device, but that said, once you have set it up, the experience is absolutely jaw-dropping.
