But for those looking to upgrade their current Synology routers, namely the MR2200ac, RT2600ac, or RT1900ac, this new router is welcome news. And it sure is worth the wait. Let's start with what we've come to expect from Synology: the firmware. RT6600ax: The first router to get Synology Router Manager version 1.3. The RT6600ax runs the operating system called "Synology Router Management," or SRM, version 1.3. Anyone who has previously used a Synology device will be at home with SRM, because the entire look and feel is exactly like DSM, only with a networking focus instead of a storage focus. Currently, SRM 1.3 is only available on the RT6600ax, but is expected to be available on the MR2200ac and the RT2600ac later this year. In fact, for home users, the OS can be a bit overwhelming though not to the degree of the Ubiquiti UDR. (Hint: opt for the DS Router mobile app instead! -- more below.) Radio frequency is broken down into spectrums from 30 Hz to 300 GHz. Spectrums are further broken down into sections called bands. Governments regulate those bands and spectrums by allocating them for specific uses. For example, the 30-300 MHz spectrum is used for radio and television broadcasts. The extremely high frequency of 30-300 GHz is for stuff like radio astronomy and directed-energy weapons. The point of regulating frequencies is to make sure no band or spectrum is congested to the point of rendering it useless.

Note: Can I add Multiple Wi-Fi Points? Sure, you can extend your Wi-Fi area with the Synology MR2200ac, RT2600ac and RT6600ax.As with its NAS units, part of the appeal is Synology's easy-to-use and well-supported software. This is especially true for those who are already familiar with Synology's NAS OS or its DiskStation Manager (DSM). If you've experienced those, its router OS, Synology Router Manager (SRM), will be totally familiar. In my view, this is a very good approach because it doesn’t overload the hardware resources of your router with features that are dormant and not used. People get to install and use only what they want, without any bloatware, and that’s great. Based on this, I have asked about more details regarding a feature in THIS review. Since what you are stating is pretty much the same marketing info you get from Synology itself. In 2016, Synology entered the network market with the release of the RT1900ac. They followed that up with the RT2600ac. Today they've released the RT6600ax, and we're going to take a look at it in detail to find out if it's a device you should consider adding to your home network. Hardware BTW: The sheer amounts of commets with diammetral findings to your review speaks for itself. Pleae remove the no bullshit claim, its false advertising.

It's not the most powerful router around, nor will it win any awards on performance. What Synology has managed to design is a solid foundation for a powerful home (or office) network. The built-in parental controls are excellent, so too is the operating system, which makes managing the network and router an absolute breeze.

Ultrafast and secure wireless connectivity for your home, office, and everything in between

RT6600ax offers Wi-Fi 6 support which is a major talking point in favor of the router’s performance. Offering AX compatibility with devices that support it. I can connect to the Internet at maximum speed via Wi-Fi without any problems or lag issues. If you have Internet speeds up to 1.5Gbps, the RT6600ax is your safe choice. Any faster speed grade will require a router with multiple Multi-Gig ports -- preferably with faster-than-2.5Gbps speed grades -- since you can only experience that via a wired connection, for now. (I detailed the reasons in this post on super-broadband.) A viable mini NAS without the older Plusnet/Connection/account/username etc settings. And then just leave me to setup Available bandwidth can be distributed among connected devices, prioritizing a single client or application when specific needs arise. Real-time and historical data support granular auditing, with traffic reports generated automatically or on-demand that can be easily shared in CVS or HTML formats.
