The advantage is that your mbps isn't cut in half as it is with range extenders, and you are managing the network as one mesh system. I currently run the RT2600ac as a mesh system with two additional MR2200s as access points. One MR2200 connected wirelessly with 350mbps connection. The other is connected via wire to a concrete garage with 980mbps connection. **Q: Can this router handle plex streaming over wifi on 4 tv's at the same time?** A: I use it on to stream Plex and Netflix on 5 separate devices at the same time, but have combined this router with Synology's MESH network devices. Works like a charm in a 3,000 sqf house on 2 separate floors. **Q: Looking for a secure and inexpensive vpn as well as firewall. anyone using this for a small office group vpn? easy to self configure?** A: Secure, VPN, Firewall. This device does all three but it really depends on the needs of those three topics. Synology updates their firmwares often to mitigate security issues, you can check their updates here in their release notes: ( https://www.synology.com/en-global/releaseNote/RT2600ac#ver_7779-1 ). This is something you don't see often with other router manufacturers. I suggest going thru their website to see if it meets your needs. As for "inexpensive", this is very subjective word but considering the length of time they support their products with firmware updates, and the consistency of their updates, I do believe this to be "inexpensive". As for myself, after owning other brand name routers (D-Link, TP-Link, Asus, and Netgear), and changing every year because of problems, I'm definitely sticking with Synology. **Q: I have a 3800 sq ft 2-story house (1900 sq ft up and down). Will this router come with a range big enough to cover the whole house?** A: It may work, but that's a pretty large place. I'd really be looking at something like an Eero. A Mesh type Wifi Network. This is exactly what they are designed for. There's a lot of factors that go into how good your signal will be in the place you live. Eero and these other MESH systems generally have an app that you run on your Smartphone to help you place these things in the best locations. Eero generally comes with 3 units. 1 is the main unit that the cable modem or DSL modem would plug into, and then the 2 remote units. It'll have you walk around your house to figure out the best location for the other 2 units. You don't want to use a Wifi Extender. That's old tech and in effect cut your Wifi speed in half. 1900 sq feet for just 1 story is almost pushing it for a single router. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great router *by J***K on 9 January 2020* This is a great piece of kit. Performance has been good and the price is very decent for what you get. The only gripe i have is the boot time is a little bit slow. Other than that this is a good purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on 3 November 2023* I was looking for a good router to mange my kids. This is a great router for this and it's was why more powerfull then i thouht reading up on it. Great choise for parents who need controll over your kids and all of there devices. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***R on 12 February 2023* I am an experienced IT Infrastructure professional, and this is by far the best set of features and ease of use I've come across in a home router including units that cost much more. This unit could easily handle a small business/retail office as well. There's not much you can't do with this, and you don't have to spend hours getting it set up. Took me about 30 min including the VPN server and Threat protection. I won't deep dive into the features as there many videos out there for that but the VPN server, Threat protection and parental control (best implementation of this I have seen) features are all superb and all included for no extra cost. The VPN server includes 40 free client licenses on this router which is an amazing deal and there are Apple and Android apps available. This is the best way to access your network remotely for cameras, NAS and such. Do not open up access for those things through your firewall or you're asking for trouble. VPN is the way. The VPN even supports 2 factor authentication for added security. Here are some minor complaints: 1) I received a used unit at first. I had to factory reset it to be able to set this up. This was Amazon's fault and they resolved it to my satisfaction. 2) Only 1 USB port. There should be 2 since you'll need 1 for storage if you use Threat Protection. 3) Only 1 2.5Gb Ethernet LAN port. There should be 1 for the WAN port and 1 or more for LAN. 4) Only 4 LAN ports. There should be more ideally, although external switches are pretty cheap these days. 5) It did not do a good job of selecting the 5Ghz channels. There were much better unused/less used channels available that I had to manually set. Get yourself a good Wifi analyzer app for your phone so you can avoid the same channels all your neighbors are using. This should be done with any Wifi router and is a good investment of time unless you live in the boonies. I mostly have 5Ghz channels all to myself now. 6) Would have liked to see wifi 6E in this. Not a huge deal since 6E is not any faster than 6 (2.4gb max speed with 160 mhz channels). 6E gets you access to the 6Ghz spectrum which would only help if 2.4 and 5Ghz are really congested (apartment building, city, etc.) Otherwise, don't waste your money and wait for Wifi 7 which will really speed things up with 320Mhz channels. 7) They tout the 5.9Ghz spectrum support in Wifi 6. There are very few devices out there that support this. This would only be useful if you are meshing multiple of the newer Synology routers and used it for wireless backhaul which is why I suspect they support it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology RT2600ac – 4x4 dual-band Gigabit Wi-Fi router, MU-MIMO, powerful parental controls, Threat Prevention, bandwidth management, VPN, expandable coverage with mesh Wi-Fi - ARRIS (SB8200) - Cable Modem - Fast DOCSIS 3.1 32x8 Gigabit WiFi , Approved for Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Charter Spectrum, & more | 1 Gbps Max Internet Speed, 4 OFDM Channels --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/258341033-rt2600ac-4x4-dual-band-gigabit-wi-fi-router-mu-mimo](https://www.desertcart.us/products/258341033-rt2600ac-4x4-dual-band-gigabit-wi-fi-router-mu-mimo) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
