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

It begins with a solid network foundation

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 RT6600ax into existing networks with full VLAN support in router, AP, and mesh configurations.

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

Featuring powerful web filtering, threat detection, and more

Easily allocate bandwidth to make room for what matters

Traffic control helps you ensure an optimal experience for everyone. Configure per-device bandwidth limits or prioritize applications across devices. Learn more

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 unwanted content — ideal for managing how children spend their time online.

Need to share internet access with neighbors or visiting friends? Synology SRM lets you easily isolate guest networks, and configure access for occasional connections 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 pose a security risk because they receive less frequent updates. Keep these devices separated from your primary network so they don't provide backdoors for potential malicious attacks. For more advanced management, configure one-way firewall rules to allow limited access for specific devices.

Stay in control from anywhere

Away from home? No problem. Connect easily through Synology DDNS, QuickConnect, or static IP/FQDN to view and manage your Synology router.

Comprehensive parental controls

Create profiles, monitor usage, freeze internet access, and approve requests for access to specific pages. Be in control even when you aren't home.

Create Wi-Fi networks

Configure wireless networks directly from your smartphone and create QR codes for easy sharing.

Just about everything else

Traffic control and monitoring, port forwarding, and many other essential features are conveniently integrated into the mobile app.

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.
