Although when we talk about routers, many users limit themselves to thinking of the one offered by their ISP, a device like this Synology RT6600ax they are a reminder that we can expect much more from these types of devicesand that the difference between a router provided by a network operator and an advanced model like Synology’s is comparable to what we can do between an inflatable plastic pool and Caribbean waters. And while it may seem like it, no, it’s not an exaggeration.

The first notable point of this Synology RT6600ax is this We are talking about a router compatible with WiFi 6 three-band, that is, it can operate in the 2.4, 5, and 6 gigahertz bands. It is becoming more common every day to find devices with the latest generation of WiFi connectivity, but to take advantage of it, it is essential that the device responsible for providing connectivity, the router, is compatible with this generation of WiFi.

As we told you a few days ago, the main reason for adding 6 gigahertz to Wi-Fi networks does not in itself provide higher speed, although in the end it does. Just as the jump to 5 gigahertz contributed to the desaturation of 2.4, then very saturated, the use of a six gigahertz band opens the spectrum (literally) to accommodate multiple data connections simultaneously without congestionwhich results in slower connections, higher latency, and lower network reliability.

Another key aspect of this Synology RT6600ax is security. The router in conjunction with Synology Router Manager (SRM) 1.3 has a number of related features, as well as privacy protection, from advanced and easy management of router software and firmware updates to features specific to VPN use. Protect the data transferred to and from the device so that it is completely opaque for prying eyes.

Although the vast majority of devices we use today use a wireless connection, cable connections are a key element for many reasons, from your own Internet connection to additional file sharing features. As for the first point, Synology RT6600ax has one 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port configurable for LAN or WAN deployments, along with another dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting the WAN to the Internet. These are supplemented by others three gigabit Ethernet ports for LAN.

Additionally. It also has a Synology RT6600ax one USB 3.0 port which, in conjunction with a quad-core SoC router, also allows it to be used as a file server, a feature for which it is able to provide speeds of over 200 megabytes on read and 120 on write.

Another of its strengths is related to management tools. To this end, the Synology RT6600ax allows remote management of devices that include the deployment of up to five independent networks isolated from each other, and that each can use up to three different SSIDs. We will also be able to adjust bandwidth consumption and have advanced features for access control and usage and parental control.

Synology RT6600ax is already on sale in Spain and more information about him can be found on his website.
