Netgear Wireless Router Upgrade Firmware

I have become a genuine fan of Synology over the past decade. Starting with a DS-209 NAS I bought in 2009 (that's still in use today), through the DS-716+ NAS that I bought in 2016; both units firmware have been supported throughout that entire time and have been dead nuts reliable. Not one issue in over 11 years. As I was already familiar with Synology's DSM, and I like it, I went ahead and replaced a sketchey Netgear Nighthawk AC1750; which itself, replaced another sketchy 2 year old Netgear router. The Synology RT2600 relieved all of my wifi related issues at the limits of the Netgear's wifi range, ended our 3x ROKU stream buffering issues, and made managing far easier with their superior DSM layout, and versatile setup options. Couple the fact that Synology continues firmware support for all of my old Synology hardware, and that none of their hardware has let me down, is reason for me to continue purchasing Synology products. I like this router so much, I bought a scond one for use in my company's satellite office. I will be purchasing another next year to replace our reliable Tenda AC1600 Shibby Tomato based router. I also like Synology's simple to use remote administration iPhone app. It is intuitive, easy to use. Synology also has an active and helpful blog with their Synology Community https://community.synology.com/enu

I have it teamed up with my Netgear Nighthawk router. Major lesson learned is keep your firmware updated and you will be operating seamlessly. (I learned my lesson). Highly recommended

Needed to upgrade my modem, and this was the best choice to go along with my Netgear Nighthawk router. Great choice.

after having many complex issues with my old Netgear after firmware upgrade, and then a new Netgear being just defective, and looking at prices of higher end consumer routers, I decided to go wired with this one. Not a glitch, and setup was not that hard with wizards. I added a wireless gateway to feed my phones/smart devices(ruckus on ebay) and ended up paying less for both than a gaming router - for a semipro setup that is super stable. Very happy!

You can upgrade the firmware and see who/what is attached.

I am very impressed with the RT2600AC Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router. It was very easy to setup and update the firmware. It was so much easier than the troublesome TP-Link Archer AC1900 that I replaced. The Synology Router firmware does not require compression software. You just click find update and load it with the control software that is included. The dual bands are more than capable of handling many devices with ease. I have the Blast 150 Mbps package and my Xfinity speeds are now 230-240 Mbps. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend this router. I will buy Synology again. B&H is also fantastic.

This is a terrific addition to my recent network upgrade to 10g. It paired up great with my Netgear gaming router and gaming hub. The interface to manage the device is also nice, you get a good visual of options for what is attached and their port speeds. I plan to buy another one this month to complete my project so I would recommend for anyone wanting to upgrade their network. Also has rack mounting accessories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] needed to upgrade my old netgear router. read the positive reviews about this router. setup was a breeze. used the app, and it took about five minutes. i get good, reliable speeds throughout my house. i always buy netgear products and know they will deliver good products.

This product replaced another Netgear modem/router that was 8 yrs. old. It was time for an upgrade and to separate the modem from the router. This modem was "idiot proof" to install with the longest part being the call to my ISP to register it. It has definitely increased my bandwith in to my home.

This is our fourth Netgear Modem and router upgrade. Our new 3.1 modem is the new standard in technology. We keep adding lighting, speakers and other features to our smart home. Thanks Netgear for your great products.
