Ac 1200 Wireless Gigabit Router

The pandemic has forced everyone here to work from home. There are three floors in this condo with people now working on all three. It took a little finagling to position the primary Synology router [RT2600AC AC-2600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router] and its antennas to talk to two of these units. Once the optimal locations were established, setting up and connecting everything else was a piece of cake. There are plenty of other tools under the hood as with most Synology equipment. More sophisticated users can install myriad of software options and system settings. Communication between all Synology devices is seamless. No WiFi dead spots over three floors and 2000 sq. feet. So far we are happy. The worst problem is communication and performance of the Comcast modem. [Our Synology/network ecosystem consists of 1) RT2600AC AC-2600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router-connected to a Comcast modem, 2) Synology MR2200AC Wireless Tri-Band Mesh Routers, and 1) Synology DS920+ 4 Bay NAS with 4 Seagate 4TB NAS Drives.]

The typical home wireless router puts everything in one box - the router, software, and wireless access points. UniFi breaks it apart into plug and play modules that you can place anywhere independently. This gives way more configuration options which is all straight forward with the UniFi software. For those a little more knowledgeable on networking this is an awesome setup to have. Originally I plugged the UAP-AC-LITE into a EdgeRouterX but after power issues I upgraded to the Security Gateway which is a much better experience. Installed the UniFi software on my Macbook Air, it found and provisioned both, and I was up and running. Once it was configured I now only run the UniFi software when there's a need to check the system. This is enterprise grade with well considered management options and monitoring through an intuitive interface (four WiFi networks, customizable guest web page, deep packet inspection...) Great performance thus far, and with the UAP-AC-LITE using PoE I can have it on UPS while placing it anywhere there is an Ethernet port, like tucked behind the TV :-) Now looking to invest in a Cloud key (an independent little box to run the UniFi software) and a UniFi switch (to give more PoE). I'm hooked...

Upgraded from 802.11ac router and wireless network was dramatically improved - both speed and reliability. Gigabit FiOS was previously bottle necked by old router but now getting much closer to advertised numbers. No longer having issues with mult computers accessing VPNs and/or simultaneous Zoom calls. Set-up took a few tries but now very reliable. Very happy with upgrade.

We have a n router, not an AC standard router, but, compared to the adapter built into our relatively new laptop, the wireless download speed increased from about 20 Mbps to 36. Our hard wired service from Comcast into the router is about 85-90 Mbps so there is speed loss in wireless, but it's much less with this adapter than the one that is built into our Dell laptop. Plus, if we ever buy a new router, (and possible upgrade our Comcast internet service), we may be able to take advantage of the higher AC band speed.

I use these cables to connect my pc with the new wireless AC router and modem. They look solidly built, are thicker than your average Ethernet cables and are somewhat stiffer (perhaps due to the double protection layer). Simply wanted the best cables and I think these are it. Cannot say anything on the speed benchmarks, but I think when we get Google fiber the throughput may come in handy.

Great router for the price. Saw an instant increase of wireless throughput from my previous AC router.

We use it between our router and switches and it's fast and should be able to carry up to ten gigabit.

TP-Link ER605 V2 Omada Gigabit VPN Router was easy to set up (using it as a standalone router) and basically started working once powered on. The boot cycle is a bit slow (~2-3 mins), but once active there are no issues with all the network devices connected to it. The 4 ports are sufficient for setting up 4 different networks and the streaming devices seem to be more stable (less buffering, more responsive) than before. I should have bought this router years ago.

Once I registered the modem with my ISP, I plugged it into my router had had gigabit.

You should use wireless n or ac type
