4.5 OUT OF 5

Synology RT2600ac

The good: The RT2600 has long range, fast Wi-Fi speed and plenty of features. The router can host more than one broadband connection and also works as a robust network storage server when coupled with an external hard drive. It includes state-of-the-art firmware that delivers a stellar set of extra features.

The bad: There’s no support for combining two LAN ports into a single superfast connection, and you might wish the router had more than five network ports. The cost: $229.99 The bottom line: If you’re looking to create a fast and highly customizable home network with advanced features, look no further than the RT2600ac.
