Hey /r/Sysadmin! What do you use for your home router? 2026 Edition

Synology RT6600AX. 2.5Gb Wan port, Solid Mesh WiFi, Vlans, AV, apps, URL filtering. Updates from a serious company. ITs not a Palo Alto but . . . That'll do pig. That'll do. I use a BASIC Motorola DOCSIS modem in Passthrough mode. I don't trust providers equpiment even as a door stop.

Modem upgrade?

Tired the Starlink router for about 1 day. Hated it... No real control of anything and the range really sucked. Bought a Synology RT6600AX and several of their smaller routers to mesh and love them. That said, I wouldn't really buy them now as they are a bit on the old tech side now. As someone ment

GigaHub + bridge mode

Google gigahub bridge mode and find the tek4you YouTube videos on how to setup. I don't have a business account. I have PPPoe setup to my RT6600ax mesh router. I get 1.5gbps via its wan interface but I do have to run multiple devices at once to saturate. I can VPN home through to the vpn service on

Security Risk - Why Is My Default Gateway (Router Access) Suddenly Now Taking Me Elsewhere?

If you choose to replace the router, I suggest you look at the Synology RT6600ax. I'm quite enjoying it. I particularly like the hundreds of various network threats you can manage. I'm paranoid so I set them all to 'drop the connection' if triggered. I also like the ability to make separate WiFi SSI

Upgrade my router?

That RT6600ax should be enough already. Just make sure you rebooted the modem if the speed upgrade just happened. If router placement is good, not on the floor not enclosed, you should be fine unless you’re on 2.4ghz for some reason. In that case split the 2.4ghz band to a diff ssid or turn it off i

Another router rec request

What kind of ISP speeds do you pay for? There are very few WiFi routers that support VLANs out-of-the-box. The Synology rt6600ax might work for you. It supports up to 4 VLANs. It has 4 ports (total). . . 1 x 2.5Gb than can be configured as WAN or LAN, and 3 x 1Gb ports. The router is a bit under-pow

Smart Hub SH32B Spec Sheet & eero

It sounds like I have the same fibre to the premises EE service as you (900/100). I’ve been using a Synology router for many years (RT6600ax) and like the features and interface but was not happy with their WiFi. I added a few eero Max 7 units running in bridge mode and turned off the WiFi on the Sy

Neptuno vs osnet

I recently moved from Palmas Del Mar (Liberty coax service) to a new development in Gurabo (Cuidad Jardin), where we have both Liberty fiber and Neptuno fiber to all the new homes. I went with Liberty fiber since my home came pre-wired with Liberty fiber to the inside DMARC (i.e., the inside network

Do the 360 Pods work?

What are you calling a "modem"? The NID? If so, then you should have a separate WiFi router somewhere in your house. My NID is just that, no router, no wifi, just a 2gbe port on the bottom side. It's a Q1000K in bridge mode going to my Synology RT6600AX with a wired backhaul WRX560. My wifi speeds h

Sonic Internet Modem/Router

I have a synology rt6600ax. I haven’t had any problems with it. I figure most people could go with something considerably cheaper, but I’m a rather heavy user, so I splashed out a bit. The funny thing is, unless you go super high end, your router is going to be the choke point of your network, becau
