Synology RT2600 Router
Posted: Wed Aug 07, 2019 5:48 pm
I ordered a beefy router for the new house setup and have it my hot little hands at work.
It's this guy: https://www.cnet.com/reviews/synology-rt2600ac-review/
Anyone have any experience? This is a different beast than the simple 60 dollar Linksys 5G router I was using before, very feature heavy.
I was planning pairing it with a good USB HD and letting it be a shared cloud storage device, and to add on some wireless outdoor security cameras eventually (haven't delved deeply enough on that yet)
I've gathered from the tutorials and the manual I'll proably be installing:
The Intrusion Protection module
Traffic monitoring feature
Shared storage module
MAYBE the VPN module (I can't think of why I would need this)
Online people talked about pairing it with various other networking devices, but I'd like to avoid that if possible, as it seems to do everything on its own.
