RT6600ax

I use the Synology RT6600ax with RT2600 (now discontinued) and MR2200 wired mesh points and Netgear GS316EPP and GS305EPP switches. Everything works great and uptime and continuity throughout the coverage area is superb. I know Synology doesn’t get much love in this sub, but it’s something worth con

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

What I would do is treat this router as the core unit and plan for additional access points. The RT6600ax is designed to work in a mesh setup, and once you add nodes like a WRX560 or another Synology router, coverage becomes consistent and predictable instead of patchy. Folks who run it in mesh gene

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

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

I just put together a mesh system for a small office. I went with synology, rt6600ax and wrx560 . It went shockingly smoothly. Management interface is super user friendly. created 3 vlans with seperate wifi.got signal appropriately strong everywhere now. A tenants vlan, a guest vlan, and an internal

I’m using a Synology rt6600ax with 3 mr2200ac and 1 rt2600ac (discontinued) mesh points. We have an old house with plaster walls and WiFi was a nightmare - this setup solved our problems. The rt2600ac and 2 mr220ac are setup with wired backhaul to the main Synology 6600ax router, with one mr2200 run

Only you know if you "need" Wi-Fi 6, if so the non-6 Synology would be a poor option. In theory 6 coverage will be better than 5 but if you have 5 only devices (as some cameras are) then an extender might be a better option. OTOH the Synology has features that the Spectrum router does not provide. K

Top options are the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro for strong performance, the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 for reliability, and the Synology RT6600ax for good features. These offer solid coverage and handle multiple devices well without huge speed drops.

I also have mesh with 1 rt6600ax with 1 rt2600ac along with few other brands like AirPort Express, cheap extender, asus rt-66r(extender) and few switches. Honestly, synology is about the best consumer router out there. I have used asus, netgear and tp-link non-mesh before, synology is not the best f
