The editors didn't like
Only 4 LAN ports on the back of the router
No Wireless bridge support
Still a relative newcomer to a highly competitive market
I have seen this complaint from other reviewers and I find that I share it
Too. There are only four LAN ports and I wish there were more
While the RT2600 supports dualWAN
It does not support combining two LAN ports together to create a faster connectio
Middling MU-MIMO throughput and file transfer speeds
Difficult to wall mount
Slow network storage
No wireless bridge support
Lack wireless bridge
Only 4 LAN ports
Still A Limited Number Of Add-On Packages Available
A Bit Expensive
The IPS Package Does Hurt The Router's Performance A Bit
There's no support for combining two LAN ports into a single superfast connection and you might wish the router had more than five network ports
Legs make it impossible to mount to a wall
The RT2600ac itself is a nice looking router but four antenna's sticking out my not be the most attractive device in your home office
Price of the RT2600ac maybe a tad high for most home users

By combining powerful hardware which does include a 1.7Ghz dual-core Qualcomm Krait IPQ8065 SoC, 512MB of RAM, AC2600 capabilities (MU-MIMO & Beamforming) with a trimmed-down version of the DSM which has now been adapted for the router environment and is...

Lack wireless bridge, Only 4 LAN ports
We'll be honest. In a race of speed or distance, the Synology RT2600ac isn't going to bring home the gold. Being only its second router ever, Synology can, perhaps, be excused for some lapses in this area. But in a market filled with Netgears, Linksyses...

The question you might be left with is: Should I buy this? The answer to that, as always, depends on your budget and needs. If you're a poweruser or the admin for a large family or small business, then my answer is a resounding yes. If your household is s...
Abstract: Routers are indispensable in our modern homes. They create data connections between all our devices as well as connecting us (with the help of modems) to that ethereal world wide network we call the Internet.The RT2600 is Synology's second generation rout...

Overall, I'm very pleased with Synology's RT-2600ac. The quality-of-life features it offers through its firmware interface make it worthy of a look by themselves. Maintaining a network is never going to be a pleasure, but it doesn't have to be a slog, an...
At approximately 2400 words in this review, I could go on and on about this router. If there was a negative comment to make about the router, I couldn't seem to have found it. There are too many good things going for it and it's so feature-rich that the v...

We had used the Comcast Xfinity ARRIS TG1682G modem/router/Wi-Fi for a few months before the RT2600ac entered our lab, that was the main reason we came up with our testing locations. The Medium and Long range testing locations had proven to be trouble som...

The RT2600ac is a very well built Wi-Fi router with a great deal of features. The amount of custom features of this device reminds me of QNAP and Drobo NAS Operating Systems. What really sets RT2600ac from most routers out there is the SRM (Synology Route...
The router does a very good job of selling itself. It looks cool, but it's what's inside that makes it worth every penny of the price. An excellent firmware filled with options that will satisfy both the beginner and the advanced-level user. If you depend...

comparisonOur RT1900ac review concluded that it had a nice feature set that could be enhanced by a relatively small set of add-on packages. But its performance didn't stack up well against other products in its class for wireless performance.However, ins...
