Review: Best router as of H1 2017 - I have been fighting against Wi-Fi dead spots at home for a long time, and this is my first time victory. Previously I have been a long term Linksys user since the golden ages of WRT54GL. I have also used Linksys EA6700, and even flagship like the EA9500. I have also tried various Wi-Fi repeaters (range extenders) of various brands, but they all shared a common issue: any device in the area where signal strength is about the same from two signal sources (one router and one repeater, or two repeaters) would intermittently drop package because the device decides to switch signal source, even when it is not moving. This is a pain because it results in dropped video calls and stuttering live streams. The so-called "seamless roaming" is totally useless and cannot avoid periodical and temporary disconnections. The lesson learnt here is that only a single router without any additional add-ons like repeaters can be the most reliable, robust and consistent solution. When it comes down to fighting against the Wi-Fi dead spots at home, the options narrow down to a single router with the best 2.4GHz range. I have done my research online for many days, and eventually found a tech geek doing tests and reviews at smallnetbuilder. The measurement data seem legit to me from a prospective of engineering, at least not biased/subjective as other reviews with merely vague descriptions. It appears that by looking into the "Throughput vs Attenuation" charts, this Synology RT2600ac holds best against signal loss, i.e. it will penetrate most walls among all routers they tested. Further looking into their routing performance spreadsheets, I have noticed that this Synology RT2600ac has least number of retries for TCP and least number of lost packages for UDP under stress tests, and beats the flagships of other brands (e.g. Linksys, Netgear, ASUS, TP-Link etc) by several orders of magnitude. I decided to give it a try by myself and see whether it is really that good. As a long term user of Synology NAS, I like the consistent UI offered by this RT2600ac. The initial setup procedure has been very smooth and I updated the OS to SRM 1.1.4-6509 straight away. The result is very satisfying: I can confirm that the dead spots in my bedroom are now gone finally, and the signal strength bar has been obviously improved with stable connections compared against the bulky EA9500 with 8 antennas! It just proves that the measurement data from smallnetbuilder are telling some truth. My devices also no longer intermittently drop connections! I have tried to stress test with multiple computers downloading from the internet and at the same time uploading to my Synology NAS, and everything went smooth and stable! The router has been up and running for a week now and I have never had to restart anything. Pros: State-of-the-art hardware specs: 1.7GHz quad-core + 512MB RAM Best 2.4GHz range as of H1 2017 Extremely stable connections without maintenance Synology's SRM router OS with next generation UI and functions Very fast and easy to set up out of the box Cons: Maybe a little bit pricy?
Review: Superb mesh router with great reliability, coverage and interface - Oh thank god, a router system that doesn't break the bank and actually works as advertised. I'd moved over to a use-the-isp-router-just-as-a-modem set-up a while back to try to keep a lid on the kids' Internet usage which was getting out of hand. Asus rtac86u was the WiFi router component which was good to begin with though it still needed a booster to reach the furthest part of the house. But... The thing (memory) leaked like a sieve and needed rebooting at least once a day and after a couple of months' reasonably hard use just died on the 2.4g band. Very disappointing. I then discovered 30+% of all other buyers found the same.. Set off in search of a mesh capable router, had used synology nas products before and like their interfaces and after reading an effusive review about these MR2200 units took the plunge. Have two in a mesh pair, have never had wifi at home like it, it's revolutionised home working. It can sustain simultaneous video calls on three devices while maintaining HD streaming on TV and general surf Internet activities. *And* it has all of the parental control bells and whistles too. Only time will tell whether the hardware lasts but if uptime is anything to go by it's a winner (has gone 10 days between boots with no deterioration of service or weird connection hang ups etc). The interface is great with lots of control over everything (caveat - you can't dial up or down the wifi signal strength in mesh mode - no biggie in my case - and once meshed the interface treats the pair as if they were one - again don't really find this to be a problem). Only other thing might be the single lan rj45 jack but this is a _wifi_ router and you can always stick a switch in the back if desperate for more ports. I highly rate / recommend these.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with bt tv? can someone paste the list of pre configured ip tv providers?**
A: Yes it does work with BT TV. I had struggled with it for a while and had actually packed up this router to return it. After giving it one more go, it turned out that my problem was with powerline adapters. What I did to make it work was (in IPTV and VOIP tab) enable IPTV by ticking the appropriate box and (not sure if necessary) leaving the other option as IPTV STB Port - but left all the ports as "Internet". Changing a port to "IPTV" did not actually work.In General Tab, I enabled IGMP Snooping, IGMP Proxy, NAT and set IGMP version to "version 3".This has been working now for several days albeit with a temporary cable up my stairs bypassing the powerline adapters. N.B. - you will need to have an Openreach (or equivalent) modem as the Synology is a router only. Hope this helps.

**Q: Hi, will this work with Fibre-optic broadband?**
A: I have this wired MY RT2600ac to BT Fibre Broadband. You need an OpenReach modem. You can pick them up fairly cheap on eBay. Run a network cable from the modem to your Synology and you should be good to go.  When you buy your OpenReach modemthey come in one of two variants (1) Huawei (2) ECI. Try and buy the one that matches your cabinet. Your cabinet will be a green metal cabinet on a street somewhere in your neighbourhood. Use the KITZ cabinet checker site (google it) for more information on identifying your cabinet and the switch gear used

**Q: How to set this up with Talktalk, all wired through a modem do i need to configure some settings, says no internet**
A: Yes, you need to configure it – it’s not 100% just plug and play
Page 9 onwards talks through the set up:

**Q: Hi is this going to work with sky broadband ?**
A: It will but what you will have is something called double nat. That is fine if you are just browsing, streaming & downloading. But if you want to do fancy things like a VPN server or VoIP you may have issues

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb router
*by W***Y on 6 August 2021*

With more and more devices becoming internet-connected, most ISP routers are just not set up to get the most out of them nowadays. As an EE broadband customer, I have had no real complaints with the routers they supply, other than the fact the control over devices is a little poor - for example, the EE SmartHub does not really allow you to manage DHCP reservation based on MAC addresses any more, but their older BrightBox 2 did. As I have a number of IoT / smart home devices at home, I have started to become a little more security conscious over what is connected to my home network. Also, as media streaming is becoming the norm, I started to notice a few issues with performance between my EE SmartHub and my NVIDIA Shield Pro, even over 5GHz WiFi. I started to look for a new router, and this kept cropping up but seemed a little pricey. As a Synology NAS user myself, I was attracted by the OS that Synology uses, and it is a fantastic improvement on the standard late 90's stuff most ISP routers seem to ship with nowadays. I decided to get the RT2600ac router over the MR220ac because I wanted to ensure I had the best available for my money, plus the extra horsepower is always a good thing in my eyes. Whilst the RT2600ac is a little on the big side, our router sits above our fridge in the kitchen so it's not a huge issue for me. Setup and installation was a breeze, thanks for Synology's well thought out OS, and I was up and running in no time. There are so many security features on this router, it really makes a difference. I opted to create a separate 2.4GHz network for my Chinese IoT devices and kept that isolated from other devices on my 5GHz / ethernet network - something you can easily do with the RT2600ac. I also decided to install some network cable in the form of Cat6 ethernet, and thanks for the various ports on the RT2600ac, this was straight forward. I only recently purchased the MR2200ac to add to my network to make it a mesh network, which has also significantly improved connectivity issues for devices on the edge of WiFi transmission - even setting that up was as simple as clicking a few buttons in the OS! Whilst it's a relatively ugly router thanks for the 4 antenna, it performs amazingly well. If you want a nice looking mesh router, then go for something else, but if you want performance and affordability, the RT2600ac from Synology is a must have.
