Synology router rt2600ac top.
Synology rt2600ac wall mount.
I wanted to use vpn with my iphone 7 plus but netgear r7500v2 lacks l2tp vpn server.
Synology also dispensed with the bracket included with the rt1900ac that stands it up almost vertically.
They re an inch away from the wall and tilted at about a 26 degree angle.
Synology rt2600ac maximizes my wifi connection where there is no performance lost both wifi and ethernet.
The synology rt2600ac router is one incredibly wifi machine.
A 4x4 ac wifi router with great graphical nas level operating system and functionality.
Lovely router by all reports i haven t actually set it up yet but the steep angled legs make the built in mounting slots rather ridiculous.
The reason i purchased synology rt2600ac is its vpn feature.
Although there are wall mount screw slots also molded into the bottom you won t be able to actually wall mount it without sawing off the plastic legs.
The removable stand that comes with the rt1900ac is now gone.
The rt2600ac s back end is elevated by two legs molded into its bottom cover.
There is also a safety note.
The stand allows you to place the rt1900ac vertically.
The netgear nighthawk r7000 is a close competitor to the synology rt2600ac with a lower msrp of 220 and a street price closer to 165.
You still can mount it on the wall using the two wall mount screw slots at the back of the router.
Hence for the rt2600ac it can no longer be placed vertically.
