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.

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

I am incredibly impressed with the RT6600AX. I got it because I wanted something a bit beefier and the profiles concept seemed like a fast way to terminate internet for lazy teenagers. I was able to grab a MR2200AC for easy wifi extension. I don't see myself moving off of it willingly anytime soon.

Ongoing Google Fiber WiFi Issues – Need Advice

I bought a Synology RT2600ac. Main attraction for that one was the built-in parental controls to keep my kids off the weird parts of the internet. It's a pretty nice router overall too. You can do a lot of cool stuff with it that most normal consumer routers can't/don't do. EDIT: Looks like it's not

In welchem Router investiere ich?

FritzBoxen sind auf Einsteiger ausgelegt. Bestimmte Produktlinie haben erweiterte Funktionen die es etwas ausbauen, aber die einfache Oberfläche nicht entfernen. Das war als Kompliment an Fritz gemeint, für die Massentauglichkeit. Für erfahrene Nutzer braucht besseres Netzwerkmanagement, damit du de

Anybody else having lots of issues lately?

Yes, I have the RT6600AX, and I’m meshing with an RT 2600AC. They’re excellent routers, I really do like them, they’re a little long in the tooth now but the software is excellent for an IT guy like me who wants a lot of control. For most of my clients I recommend and install Eero, but I have a few

In light of the government's warning about TP-Link routers being compromised and all the other negative news about them, would use of a VPN or hardware firewall like Firewalla or Ubiquity do any good?

Try Synology RT2600ac or RT6600ax Router and add an external NVMe SSD to run their Threat Prevention App Add-on (Suricata IPS Based). Great router and firewall and IPS for the money and easy to manage. Gets daily updates for security. https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/compare/routers

Need a router with good parental controls

Look at Synology RT6600ax or ASUS with AiProtection, both apps let you pause net or block adult content instantly. To stop them bypassing via MAC randomization, set default profile to block all new or unrecognized devices until approved. Also need to block DNS-over-HTTPS bootstrap servers and VPNs i

How to force Mobile Data for internet while maintaining Ethernet LAN connection on Samsung S10+?

FYI I've used Synology RT2600ac snd RT6600ax routers and they both allow you to simply block an internal device based on MAC from accessing the Internet. A simple click on the interface.

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
