Powered by Synology Router Manager (SRM), an intuitive OS built for security and performance

Up to five networks

Create up to 5 separate networks and 15 Wi-Fi SSIDs to distribute your devices based on their role or purpose.

Network segmentation

Isolate networks or set one-way access rules to limit connectivity to and from vulnerable devices.

VLAN tagging

Integrate the RT2600ac into existing networks with full VLAN support in router, AP, and mesh configurations.

Make everything work together to fit your network needs

Your primary network is probably where most of your devices reside: laptops, tablets, smartphones, and smart TVs or speakers. Using Safe Access, you can easily create a default network profile that blocks malicious content and applies more restrictive filtering on shopping, adult, or other offensive content — ideal to manage how children spend their time online.

Need to share internet access with visiting friends or with the neighbors? Synology SRM enables you to easily isolate guest networks and configure access for the occasional connection to your Chromecast or AirPlay device. Apply more stringent bandwidth constraints and web filtering to ensure your network and connection quality are not affected by compromised devices.

Smart sensors and other IoT devices are convenient, but often easy to compromise because they receive less frequent updates. Keep these devices separated from your primary network to prevent them from providing backdoors for potential malicious attacks. For more advanced management, configure one-way firewall rules to allow limited access for specific devices.

With safe access to the internet using built-in security and parental controls

We want kids to be safe online, even when we’re not there. With RT2600ac, you can lay down rules for each kid without having to setup parental control solutions on each of their devices.

More than just VPN for secure remote network access

Mesh Wi-Fi

Say goodbye to Wi-Fi dead zones. Combine multiple Synology routers (MR2200ac or other) for consistent and high-speed whole-home coverage under a single Wi-Fi name.

Wi-Fi 5 vs Wi-Fi 6 — which one is ideal for you?

Check your internet speeds

In our tests, in a 2,000 ft² space with a 300Mbps internet plan, we found no differences in Wi-Fi internet transfer speeds between RT2600ac (Wi-Fi 5) and RT6600ax (Wi-Fi 6). The reason is that both routers can deliver Wi-Fi transfer speeds that exceed 300Mbps.¹ The bottleneck in this scenario is the internet speed.

Making an optimal decision

Given internet speeds are often the bottleneck, RT2600ac can be an equally capable but more cost-effective option for many use cases, including the following: rental apartments, vacation homes, studios, 1- or 2-bedroom apartments, etc.

On the other hand, if you have a multi-gig internet plan, a much larger space to cover, or more than 100 Wi-Fi devices, Wi-Fi 6 routers like RT6600ax or WRX560 are the way to go.

Notes:

Model specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
The figures are based on Synology internal testing. Each performance test is done individually. No other services or applications are processed at the same time.
The actual performance may be lower than lab testing figure due to differences in server configuration, deployment, and the number of active operations.
