According to our router expert
With the Synology RT2600ac router, you can effortlessly connect dozens of devices to your wireless network. The Dual-Core processor provides a stable connection, even when you're using the internet at multiple places at the same time. You can stream a movie in 4K, game online, and download music at the same time with this router. The RT2600ac has a wide range thanks to the external antennas. And thanks to the MU-MIMO technology, you have a fast wireless connection everywhere. With the USB 3.0 connector on the RT2600ac, you can easily connect hard drive to the network. It's also possible to connect a 4G internet dongle to the USB port. This way, you always have a connection. Even when your fixed connection fails.

Bought this router because the previous one (Linksys) died due to flooding. Compared to the Linksys, it was first noticeable that the update policy of Synology is much more active. In the first week I already received more updates than all years of the Linksys. You also get update warnings for Synology's other products, which is less. Setting up is simple. You can opt for a single account for 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi. The devices then decide for themselves what to use (5GHz if possible). A separate guest network is possible. An extensive help function is included, in Dutch. You can extend the functionality with additional packages (including cloud, media, DNS, VPN server). I installed VPN server and it works fine (less on the Windows side, but that's another story). Synology offers a free DDNS service so that you can call your own system with a name, eg abc.vpngo.to. Performance is good. WiFi range: better than Linksys (that didn't get me through HR++ windows). Arrangement on 1st floor covers the whole house. Speed sufficient (not measured), all ports are Gb. MU-MIMO tested with HR video on 3 tablets at the same time (I don't have any more): OK. Power consumption: approx. 9W, neat. With USB3 you can turn it into a fast file server and/or print server. There are many other features I haven't played with yet: firewall, IPTV, Voip, second WAN port for failover (via LAN port 1).

Finally a router that understands that children do their homework on computers and IPADs. You can tell the router per user at certain times that they cannot play media or games over the internet. With this you can ensure that your children can use the internet for their homework without being tempted by YouTube videos and games. After homework time, they can just play games and watch movies again. Furthermore, this is a mistake with an incredible amount of possibilities. I am very happy with it.
