Given my MR2200ac satellites are Wi-Fi 5, this leaves only the RT2600ac as a possible “main” mesh unit (which you obviously suggest on the RT2600ac review page). I fear that Synology will simply drop the “Cloud sync” functionality from the RT2600ac, which would leave me very unhappy. In the DS Router App you are able to see the Health status of the product, how many devices are connected to it, the transfer speed for each of the devices connected, set priorities etc. There is simply not much required to get the unit setup so it does not need an enormous accessory package.

Feature-riched: The mesh network retains all features and settings of the main Synology router, which is among the best on the market — more in the reviews of the RT6600ax or WRX560.if you are still going around in circles and need direct consultation, we have just started providing one-hour consultations via zoom. I tried out the top four apps mentioned above (all required a USB-connected storage device), and they worked very well.

But I have been waiting for a suitable product to come along so I can have a unified system for both wired and wireless networks. With that, all Asus routers or mesh systems have a decent “Family” feature via the mobile app you can try.What’s important to me is I can do QoS, parental controls, bandwidth limit per device, DHCP reservation (from the pool, I know it’s not best practice). From the initial setup of your Synology router to fine-tuning your network’s firewall settings and adding Wi-Fi Points, DS router makes network management truly easy, intuitive, and mobile.
