![]() ![]() The Synology RT2600AC isn’t the fastest router we’ve tested, but it did exhibit speeds and range good enough to stream video, play games, and perform other tasks on the internet throughout our 1,800 square feet of space. At that range, measured speeds dropped to an average of about 259Mbps, with upload speeds tanking to 27Mbps. Our next test was performed 30 feet from the router with two walls and various furniture and other items between the router and our test device. ![]() At that distance, we measured an average download speed of 357Mbps and upload speeds of about 62Mbps. We performed our next test about 15 feet from the router with a closed door between the router and our mobile device. This router is worth a look if you want something that’s easy to set up but hides a lot of hidden potential under the hood. The Synology RT2600AC has a great web-based dashboard that provides a surprising amount of flexibility and control, but you don’t really have to dig into it to set up your network. We connected the router to the internet and our test PC, set up an administrator account on the router, created a network SSID, and were prompted to select whether the device should act as a router or an access point, and that was about it. Setup with the Synology RT2600AC was just about as easy as it gets. This gives the router a bit of a unique look, and may help in heat management, but it also makes it extremely difficult to wall mount. When you set this router on a flat surface, it doesn’t sit flat due to a raised foot on the back of the device. One side of the device features WPS and Wi-Fi buttons, while the other features a second USB port and a media eject button. You’ll also find the power button, a WAN port, and five LAN Ethernet ports on the back. The rear of the router also features a USB port that can be used for the same purpose. On the front of the router, you’ll find an SD card, which can be used as network-attached storage (NAS). ![]()
