Great intro. Talk about listening to your viewers 😀 Oh, and great review as usual. Full of info that users can relate to and delivered perfectly.

Thanks for this detailed comparison!

I picked up a RT6600ax last summer and am still enthralled with how awesome this device is. I am ready to expand to a mesh but unsure whether to drop an extra 130 euros for a WRX560 and WiFi 6 or saving a bit and picking up a MR2200ac but rolled back to WiFi 5 when out of range of the main RT6600ax. For what I would be doing in the satellite locations, I am sure WiFi 5 or 6 doesn't matter. However, I would be interested in your perspective. Maybe a video discussing pros and cons of setting up Synology Mesh with different routers?

Many thanks for your reviews of the routers, you helped me a lot to choose which router to purchase. I am now a very pleased owner of the RT6600ax. SRM is so easy to use and considerably better than the GUI on my previous Netgear routers. Again, many thanks for your in-depth work in the videos 😀

Thank you for the comparison

Does the RT6600ax support b/g/n/a/n/ac/ax like the the WRX560? Noticed some 2.4ghz devices like garmin watches worked better on the old RT2600 I used to have. This is after making sure RT6600ax doesn't downgrade that band in the options.

Love your videos. You’re a legend!

Do you have AVM (Fritzbox) in UK? If Yes, i like to see a comparison to a Fritzbox 4060. Which is a Tri-Band-System with lower Price.

Wrx560 on Synology website says it uses ddr4 instead of ddr3 ram. Is that correct?

I can't knock the software but Synology have got a way to go before I would consider them for infrastructure, they need to offer switches that can be managed by the router.

Need video based on security comparing intrusion prevention and attacks both from inside and outside for these routers and you can also compare it with Asus routers that come with AiProtection Pro

Can we place an ASUS wireless router behind these two routers and uplink on a gigabit ethernet port from the ASUS to the hard-wired ports on these routers? I want to put 50+ Wifi connected light fixtures onto their own dedicated router.

Yes you can… probably way too late a response

Can anyone explain the usecase for a single 2.5gb lan port lol? Seems niche. Fast server with multiple clients? Or ok I pay for 2gb wan but dont have the switching capacity to pipe that directly to any clients. Are we entering the era where wifi becomes faster than lan? Is greater then 1gig ethernet just that expensive? I was looking at a $500 Ubiquiti Dream machine that you would want an external switch for if you have 2.5gb or 10gb clients. Not to mention your AP would be limited to gb on that $500 status symbol lol. Thought this Synology would be the better upgrade for me. $200 less, comes with the AP built in... Guess Ill stick with my cheapo TP link until Wifi 7 is a hit and see if these prosumer brands can make something worth splurging on.

I have 2gig internet, so the 2.5 goes to the fiber “modem” which is really a transceiver.

Cool rooters.

Have always heard good things about Synology routers. Thank you for the informative review 🙌🏻

Wifi will not beat a 1Gb LAN connection, the issue is LAN (Wired) is Full duplex (Send and receive at the same time), is not prone to interference while WLAN (WIFI) is Half Duplex, it can send or receive, it cannot do both at the same time. Easiest way to think of this is to imagine using a walkie talkie (push to talk) Vs a phone. Link speeds are different to data speeds due to Network overhead. Which is why you will find LAN switches with 2.5Gbe or 10Gbe ports, but even the RT6600AX only has a single 2.5Gbe port, which isnt an issue for your LAN (you can connect it to a switch with more 2.5Gbe ports) but in the future, if/when we get 2.5Gbe internet/WAN, then you will be stuck with only 1Gb ethernet LAN ports. In testing, ( i have 2 RT6600AX and a pair of MR2200ACs,) with Wifi Mesh between the RT6600AX on the 5.9 band I found that throughput wasnt very good. Due to the nature of the property I am unable to run Cat 5E/8 cable between the rooms (3 floors), so I then used MOCA 2.5 connectors as each room has a redundant run of Coaxial, this is not perfect as its not full duplex, but its faster than I was getting ). This might be worth you covering in a future episode, these are the ones I used and theyre pretty damn good www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08XP8MMFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I hate the external antennas on the outside of routers these day's because they are completely garbage because they are not detachable. So if any of them break or get damaged in any way, you are literally stuck with having to buy a whole new Wi-Fi router. That's why I go with Wi-Fi routers that have nonbreakable internal antennas, but I'm finding out that Wi-Fi 802.11n/ac/ax routers with nonbreakable internal antennas are becoming impossible to find these day's. The Synology WRX560 is one such Wi-Fi 802.11n/ac/ax router that I bought off Amazon because of its nonbreakable internal antenna design. In fact, Synology WRX560 is the only Wi-Fi 802.11n/ac/ax router I could find that works with my gigabit optic fiber internet that has nonbreakable internal antennas.

Do i see it correctly? The routers have no dsl port? They also dont have connection for phones.

Cool

theres no real excuse for these devices only having one 2.5Gbit port, especially given that Synology also produce NAS. Naturally you'd choose the 2.5 for your LAN, leaving any direct NAS connection only at 1Gbit. Not very future proof

WiFi7 routers are on the way soon - prefer to wait

Waiting in the tech field is the modt pointless idea. U'd literaly be waiting & waiting & waiting. 3080 ti? Wait for the 4080, wait for the 5080. Suddenly ur 75 years old & havent enjoyed 1 game/hardware.

How are those wifi 7 prices treating you? heh

Sounds the same in Dutch

Asus just announced GT-BE98, wifi7 (up to 25000 Mbps), 3 10gbit ports. Would like to see better routers from Synology.

Neither, go Mikrotik honestly.

haha brilliant tomatoes tomatos lol

dirt

Maybe they’re not called rooters cause that’s the feeding habit of swine !

Rooters Root that's Root Router is Out this is the word Out not OOT so it is R Outer Not R OOTER do you go OOT to a car or do you go Out to a Car same word with an r in front of it
