Apple Airport Time Capsule Wireless Router 3Tb

Bought this as a replacement for my slowly dying Apple AirPort Time Capsule. Setup was relatively smooth, and the WD My Cloud is working as good, if not better, than the Time Capsule did. And it has enough space to back up all four of my family's MacBooks. Haven't used any of the other WD features, so I can't comment on that.

This Synology router replaced an Apple AirPort Extreme and so far I am very pleased with the router. Love the Synology control panel and am already familiar with it considering my Synology Disk Station also uses the same control panel so it wasn't much of a learning curve. This router is an excellent addition to the existing Synology products in my home.

I replaced an Apple Airport Extreme router with this unit from Synology. I expected it to be easy to set up, and it was even easier than I'd hoped. The ease with which you can get information and make changes through the computer browser interface or the app is unparalleled. I even have an older laser printer that's attached via USB to this router, and even that was easy to set up and works great.

I purchased this as a replacement for my first generation Apple AirPort Extreme that had a failing fan. I did not need wireless in a router because my current home setup already has an independent solution. My only concern was speed. I have several test routers and none of them could deliver the maximum bandwidth that my ISP provides. After running the extremely easy setup it was obvious that speed was not an issue with this router. Even with traffic analysis enabled there is no speed, ram, or cpu issues. Best router for the money on the market.

When Apple discontinued the Airport Extreme I began looking for a replacement. I bought the RT2600ac earlier this year partially because of the announced mesh router solution (MR2200ac), partially because I already have other Synology equipment and partially because of the excellent Synology support. The two MR2200ac units arrived this week and work perfectly. Completely eliminated my historically weak signal areas due to shape and construction of house. Ive tracked device connections as I walked through the house and yard and the handoff between router points is seamless. Extremely pleased

Owning a small rancher (1500 sq ft) with a quantity of 802.xx devices (20 or more), a significant amount of electrical magnetic interference, and 75mb up/downstream Fios service, we use Verizon's modem but bypass their (wimpy) wireless router. We had been running an Apple airport extreme and airport express for the several past years, with marginal connectivity at the furthest ends of our home (we run 10 pieces of Sonos gear continuously throughout the house). We tried a newer 802.ac apple router a couple of years ago, but that too, didn't do the job. Apple, having announced it was going out of the router business a month or so ago, led us to other mesh based alternatives (and personal recommendations re: their commercial equipment), turning to Ubiquity for their home product (AmpliFi HD), just released. Along with the router, the bundle we purchased has two mesh extensions which we have plugged in midway and at the end of our rancher (the router being in our office at the other end). The unit, designed to cover 20k feet is, without question, overkill. But when our children, grandkids and sponsored midshipmen come over, we can be looking at an additional dozen 802.xx devices, and when everybody starts streaming, it can be rough riding. Without getting into the weeds, this handles everything thrown at it without a hiccup, delivering 10x the throughput our apple setup delivered (60+ mb/s v. 6mb/s) at the furthest distance from the router. The setup can be configured via your desktop or phone, with the one caveat we encountered requiring you to turn off your controlling device's VPN during configuration. We have yet to set up our guest network, but will do that shortly. In the interim, we went over to our neighbor's house, diagonally across the street, where we got a strong 4 bar signal! (yes, it has several security protocols). The package is not cheap, but if it lasts as long as our last setup, this should be good for many years.

I replaced an aging Asis modem and Apple AirPort router. Installation took no more than 10 minutes. My download speed more than doubled right away. I’m so happy I bought the Orbi system.

Upgrading from a 4th generation Apple AirPort Extreme to this RT2600AC was a breeze! I have a DS415+ NAS as well so it made sense to keep everything Synology and I'm so happy I did! I went from ~70Mbps to over 110Mbps just by upgrading the router!! Granted, I'm paying for 100Mbps FiOS, so you can tell that the router has DEFINITELY made a huge impact. Plus, I get a FULL signal where I had NO signal. Game-changer right there!

For years I have been a loyal Apple product owner. However, after only 2-3 years of use, I have been frequently restarting my Apple Airport Extreme - according to tech bloggers it means the device is dying. After doing some research that Apple has discontinued production of the Airport Extreme, I decided to look elsewhere. I chose the Synology AC2600 WIFI router based on the honest reviews on the BH website as well as other computer review sites. The RT2600AC ain't pretty to look at, but it is a performance monster. I installed it in the same place (basement) as my old Apple Airport Extreme, and the AC2600 has twice the range and twice the speed using the same Comcast SB6190 cable router. Plus, I have attached an external hard drive to use as a time machine backup. I am very pleased with this product.

I am using this router in an Apple environment. Replaced the Express/Airport. Take your time when setting it up. Do not rush in to setup parental control, etc. Get it up/running, review the applications available, THEN make your modifications. I have kids so the parental control is nice as I can see what they are viewing as well as how long they are online. The power/range is far better than the Airport. The app interface is nice (iPad, iPhone, Google phone), for controlling access.
