I agree with the enshittification. My RT6600ax covers less area than the RT2600ac it replaced. So a bit disappointed. That and the removal of features has me considering leaving the platform. My home experience led directly to my using them for my business use. We used to look for new vendors when t...

Severe issue with Synology RT6600ax router disconnecting all my devices (big financial loss and extremely disappointed with the brand)

These posts are always amusing to me. Even the most reliable piece of equipment can and will have failures. And there is always that one person with an issue that then proclaims they will NEVER use that product again. Even though statistically they are quite reliable. OP has experience with precisel...

Synology RT6600ax still worth it?

I've had mine for a couple years now. It's fantastic. I can't speak to the more advanced settings e.g. mesh networks, how it plays with "power user"-oriented software/firmware/hardware etc., but as a rather casual user I love it. Currently on a gigabit up/down plan with Quantum Fiber, a subsidiary o...

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

VPN always on Synology?

I have a RT2600AC. It has a vpn package that will handle synology, standard and site-to-site vpns. No need to do anything on the NAS. It only has gig ports on it though. The RT6600AX has 2.5gb eth though and it will have similar if not the same packages. You want to do anything vpn on your router no...

Best modem or router I can use? Besides the one they provide.

I have the Synology RT6600ax router and it has been great. Coupled with the Arris Surfboard SB8200. I am also on Xfinity 1Gbps.

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...

Can you install Tailscale Client on Synology Router (WRX560)

Yes, I installed Tailscale on my RT6600ax. Assume the WRX560 is similar. Went to this link and downloaded latest version for DSM7 ARMv8 https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#spks Used 7-Zip to extract files to separate directory. Used 7-Zip again to extract files "tailscale" and "tailscaled" from "pack...

Synology RT6600ax still worth it?

The issue was poor reception (I moved it about 5 feet and that did help) but I had a lot of issues with dropped connections and loss of Internet connection for no real reason. I am still having issues from time to time and a reboot of things seems to fix it but it still shouldn't be happening. I kno...

What is a good Dual WAN router to use for home network with two ISP?

Just bought a RT6600ax and it lets you use LAN1 as a failover WAN port depending on how you configure it. It's feature list is long and excellent. Pricey, but very worth it
