  • Review: Synology MR2200ac is one of the best consumer mesh Wi-Fi routers we've seen

    cescocesco
    Truly suggest you visit the Synology router community page to get an idea how unhappy clients are, including myself, with this once great product (including the old but still expensive rt2600).
    Last update was in October 2019, problems go unresolved. From dropped connections, inability to reach full speed (I can only get 200 Mbit tops with my 400 Mbit package, even near the damn router), slow down requiring reboots (I can count on one hand with fingers left over the times I had to reboot my old AirPort Extreme), wonky WPA3, devices connecting to the furthest point while near one router, and so on.
    It’s thought they may have stopped dealing with routers to focus on what they know best, NAS.
    Looking for another brand and willing to take the hit.

  • Review: 802.11ac Synology RT2600ac router is the best AirPort replacement we've found yet

    Many thanks, Vmarks!
    I have the  same USB drive so am glad I'll not have another item to plug into an electrical outlet.
    My comment  on TM-capability being marketing was based on erroneous thinking that TM simply involved plugging a drive and macOS would take it from there. Clearly there's more going on and good to know Synology went that extra step to accomodate us Mac users.

    How odd that this router is not yet certified in Canada though it can be purchased on Amazon.ca.
    Might  you folks know if the USB port can power a portable drive; would make for 1 less electrical wire.
    Pros which make me consider this to replace my aging ABS:
    Time Machine (though I wonder if this isn’t just marketing )
    Functioning USB ports unlike most mesh routers out there
    Expandable with their MR220
    Web access thus not a slave to dumb downed iOS app.

    Yeah - the Airport and a lot of the other newer routers had a much nicer design so you didn't mind leaving it out on a shelf somewhere. This thing looks more like a Romulan ship that you need to hide away. Maybe you could disguise it as a piece of modern art?
