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: Synology RT2600ac WiFi Router = Peace in the home and LOTS of Internet for everyone - My experience with Synology RT2600ac WiFi Router, Sep - Oct 2019. I bought this to have better Networking & WiFi at home where I was using a Virgin SuperHub 3 and 100mbps fibre connection. The SH3 gave poor performance, and the widely documented path forward is to put it into Modem mode and buy a real WiFi Router. I first bought an ASUS AC88U which failed after two days and went back to desertcart. I bought the Synology RT2600ac about a week later after reading a lot more reviews. It was easy to install in a bedroom wardrobe and setup, very flexible. We got good speeds downstairs and upstairs with great coverage from the WiFi, enabling me to abandon my Powerline adaptors and local WiFi hotspots completely. Everyone happy. No more sluggish network, dropouts, intermittent freezes, bad coverage areas from the Virgin SH3. I updated the firmware and set it to auto update, which it did a few times over the next couple of days. The user interface is very clean, well designed, complete, easy to use and really helpful. I mean it gives clear guidance at each step instead of just a cryptic statement. I set everything up in two hours and it is all still fine three weeks later. Nothing changed on me, nothing unusual happened, updated itself fine. - No dropouts of any users / clients. Everyone reconnects when they get home without issues. - No internet disconnections, no WiFi fades. - Clean, correct, up to date Client list. - Clients are - iPads, iPhones, Macs, Epson printer, Android phones, Windows 10 PCs and Surface Gos, Ubuntu Laptop, Kindles, Raspberry Pi. All connected immediately and still are. Other reviewers said this router was worth the money and I fully agree. Everyone happy. Peace at last !! ## Features - 1.7GHz Dual-core processor for fast, uncompromising performance - Powerful 4x4 802.11ac wave 2 radios with MU-MIMO and up to 2.53Gbps breakthrough wireless speeds - Smart Connect for seamless transition between maximum speed or range - Hardware accelerated Layer 7 traffic control and monitoring.

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: https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/HIG/Router/17-year/RT2600ac/Syno_HIG_RouterRT2600ac_enu.pdf **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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best router as of H1 2017 *by Y***. on 17 May 2017* I have been fighting against Wi-Fi dead spots at home for a long time, and this is my first time victory.

Peace at last !! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent router with no wifi drop out *by M***R on 3 January 2018* At last a router which doesn't drop wifi in the house. My Plusnet branded free router was dropping the wifi signal in the house regularly, or only distributing a poor signal of limited speed. My previous wifi router from Plusnet did the same. This one is maintaining the wifi signal and never drops out. It does not have any greater reach than the Plusnet, so it still has low signal upstairs in the corners of the house as the other one did, which surprised me as I thought it would be more powerful. It is a dream to set up, however it does require a modem, unlike the Plusnet router which had a built in router. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology RT2600ac Wireless Mesh Router - Synology RT6600AX Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 Router - Synology WRX560 WIFI 6 Mesh Router --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/48651569-rt2600ac](https://www.desertcart.in/products/48651569-rt2600ac) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
