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 User and network profiles Quickly enable default profiles or tailor them to your devices for maximum control over what happens on your network. Quotas, scheduling, and safer searches Keep offensive content out of reach and limit internet access with schedules or a quota-based system. Alerts and reporting Get notified when quotas are reached or when users try to access blocked websites. Automatically generated reports provide additional insights about how your network is used.
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
Home NetworkGuest NetworkIoT NetworkOffice NetworkSurveillance Network
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.
More on IoT devices
Whether you're running your own business or just have a well-equipped studio or home lab setup, you can isolate your servers and devices, preventing interference and improving security if your network is hosting external resources or is often accessed by remote colleagues.
Keep IP cameras and devices storing security footage isolated, preventing unauthorized access if another network is breached. One-way firewall rules allow you to conveniently manage these sensitive devices without compromising security, while independent traffic control rules ensure that surveillance tasks never get interrupted or slowed down.
How convenience can meet securityIoT products can easily be isolated, avoiding potential exploitation without affecting functionality.GarageLiving room and kitchenGardens and yardsBedrooms and bathroomsNewer cars, dashcams, HVAC systems, and battery/solar power systems are often equipped with network connectivity for greater control and insight into their performance (e.g., energy generated from your solar installation).Many current TVs and speakers can respond to voice commands, making them an ideal fit for smart home platforms with multi-room playback capabilities and hands-free access. Smart connectivity also makes it possible to look up recipes or get timely reminders about the condition of food stored in your smart fridge.Video doorbells let you safely and conveniently check who is at your door. Smart gardening systems can automate watering your garden or lawn in case you're too busy. And when you have visitors, multiple PIR sensors and lights can be linked together to increase illumination and create a comfortable ambiance.Modern bedrooms can be furnished with networked window blinds, smart lighting, and HVAC controls to improve the atmosphere. Next-generation fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide sensors are easier to link together and can work in conjunction with your smartphone to send out critical safety alerts.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is mesh Wi-Fi and what are the benefits of using it?
Mesh Wi-Fi is a whole-home Wi-Fi system that enables multiple routers to work together, providing wider and more reliable network coverage under a single Wi-Fi name.
How do I set up a Wi-Fi mesh network?

You will need at least two Synology Routers, one to function as the main unit and others as Wi-Fi points (see table for details). Setup is quick and easy and can be done through a web browser or the DS router mobile app. Refer to the following guide for detailed instructions.
