Synology RT2600ac AC2600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router [RT2600AC]

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.

Home 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 offensive content ideal to manage how children spend their time online.

Guest Network

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.

IoT Network

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.

Office Network

Whether you are running your own business or just have a well-equipped studio or home lab setup, you can isolate your servers and devices to help prevent interference or security issues if your network is hosting external resources or is often accessed by remote colleagues.

Surveillance Network

Keep IP cameras and devices storing security footage isolated, preventing unauthorized access should one of your other networks be hacked. 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.

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.

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.

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.
