Top software experience

Synology Router Manager (SRM) powers the RT2600ac to keep things simplified yet extensively tunable. Easily monitor and adjust your network, even on mobile devices with DS router.

Setup in minutes

Whether it is done on your smartphone or computer, setting up Synology Router is a breeze. You can get your network up and running within just a few taps.

Powerful connectivity management

SRM delivers easy-to-use connectivity management tools to ensure your network always runs smoothly.

Smart WAN

SRM's Smart WAN capability on the RT2600ac supports 2Gbps Dual WAN combined bandwidth when multiple connections are established2. If one of the connections goes offline due to ISP or cable problems, traffic can failover to the other interface. Load balancing can be used in addition to failover, spreading traffic across both interfaces. Policy route allows traffic routing based on destination or source address.

Smart Connect

Not sure which devices should connect to the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands? With Synology's Smart Connect, devices are connected to the most appropriate band automatically, letting users experience simplified management without worrying about range or speed issues.

Content filtering & monitoring

Application Layer QoS and Traffic Report

Application Layer or Layer 7, Quality of Service control shows the bandwidth consumed by individual applications and devices. Restrict the amount of bandwidth for specific applications, without affecting the rest, and generate traffic usage reports sorted by application and device.

Intelligent Web Filtering and Parental Controls

Instead of traditional URL-based web filtering, SRM does so during DNS lookup. Easily block out thousands of sites with built-in Google SafeSearch integration and a constantly updated database of customizable website categories.

VPN Plus

Keep your network's internal services and resources hardened against direct access while still allowing work from home or a remote location with VPNs. Easily deploy a wide range of VPN solutions and manage access permissions and bandwidth allowances. Learn more

Synology SSL VPN

Secure and fast, Synology's SSL VPN1 solution requires minimal setup on Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, iOS, and Android, making rapid deployment as easy as logging into a web portal.

Comprehensive protocols

Additionally supports SSTP1, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, and PPTP VPN server options to satisfy your specific network requirements.

Stay protected

In addition to standard security tools like denial-of-service protection and firewall management, SRM delivers innovative tools and features to help protect your network from outside attacks.

Intrusion Prevention Beta

Intrusion Detection System analyzes network traffic and logs all intrusion attempts, allowing for fine-tuning of your firewall rules with minimal performance impact. Intrusion Prevention System additionally blocks suspicious traffic based on customizable rules 3.

Security Advisor & QualysGuard

Monitor and check settings and system files for security issues and automatically apply recommended fixes. Synology utilizes the industry leading Qualysguard platform to detect and enhance security across all Synology operating systems. Learn more
