Synology comes this year with a great update for one of its previous models. We are talking about the new RT2600ac, which is an upgrade to the previous RT1900AC.
The new Synology RT2600ac is available at the price of 230 dollars, which is approximately 80 dollars more than the previous model.
To be added that this new router is considered to be one of the fastest routers on the field. Moreover, this incredible router comes with the most comprehensive set of features.
Users should know that when they connect an external hard drive to the new router, it will also work as a network storage server, known as NAS. This means that people will be able to share data and stream contents to local, as well as remote clients.
So, we must say that customers who are in search to build a non-compromising, robust, secure home network, should know that the new Synology RT2600ac is an interesting option.
The RT2600 has long range, fast Wi-Fi speed and plenty of features. The router can host more than one broadband connection, and also works as a robust network storage server when coupled with an external hard drive. |
Like all AC2600 routers on the market, this one also comes with a quad-stream (4×4) and a top speed that reaches 1.733 megabits per seconds on the 5GHz band and approximately 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band.
These impressive numbers make the new Synology RT2600ac stand out from the rest of the crowd. Another great attraction at this router is the operating system, also known as the firmer. Customers should know that this router runs Synology Router Management (SRM).
As we know, with most routers, the firmware is managed via a web page, which is rather primitive, and filled with menus and submenus.
But, Synology’s firmware works just like a modern operating system, very similar to MacOS or Windows. This firmware allows opening multiple windows, for example notifications, search, effect, transition and many others.
Another important thing to know is that the features found on this firmware are organized in a way that make it easy to figure out for anyone who has have never worked with a computer.
People should know that this firmware comes with a control panel where they will find most of the settings, a desktop with shortcuts to its main setting and features, a Package Center where they can install packages that add more functions to the router, and a Start button that brings up more shortcuts.
To be added that people who will not like this web interface can opt for the free DS Router app, which is available on Android and iOS. This application will allow people to manage some of the router’s settings and built-in features on their smartphone.
Without a doubt, Synology’s operating system is the most advanced firmware for routers. The system, also known as SRM, has both functionality and interface design, which is very important. Configuring the new Synology RT2600ac is very easy.
Another great thing is that the SRM is also designed for advanced users who want to customize their home network. But, this firmware is also great for home users who just want to get online without having to deal too much with configuration and settings.
