Synology RT2600ac dual-band AC2600 router

The Synology RT2600ac is a dual-band wireless router that delivers up to 2.53 Gbps combined throughput using 4x4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 radios. A 1.7 GHz dual-core processor drives Synology Router Manager for traffic control, VPN and mesh expansion. It includes one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port and an SD card reader for local services.

Suits homes and small offices needing expandable

Buyers who want 6 GHz spectrum or multi-gigabit WAN ports should look elsewhere. The router tops out at dual-band 802.11ac with a single 1 Gb WAN port in standard mode. Users requiring built-in modem functionality or passive cooling in extreme heat will need different hardware.

2.53 Gbps total wireless bandwidth ceiling

The combined 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz defines the maximum throughput ceiling for any client. Dual WAN mode can aggregate two 1 Gb links for 2 Gbps WAN throughput, but wireless performance remains bound by the AC2600 radio limit.

Questions about this item

Will the RT2600ac's 802.11ac 2.4 GHz band at 800 Mbps work with my older 802.11n devices?

Yes, the router supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards, so 802.11n devices will connect on the 2.4 GHz band at their maximum negotiated rate.

How can I verify the 4x4 MU-MIMO radios are delivering up to 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz after setup?

Open Synology Router Manager, go to Network Center > Traffic Control to view real-time client link speeds and band utilisation per connected device.

Do the four antennas ship attached or must I install them, and is an SD card included for the SDXC slot?

The box contains the RT2600ac main unit, four detachable antennas, an AC power adapter, one RJ-45 LAN cable and a Quick Installation Guide; no SD card is included.
