A possible AirPort Extreme replacement? Hands-on with the Synology RT2600ac [Video]

<p>Since the news broke that Apple is getting out of the router business (https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/21/apple-reportedly-stops-developing-airport-wifi-router-products-moving-employees-to-other-projects/), I’ve been looking to replace my AirPort Extreme. I wanted something with more power-user features, and the Synology RT2600ac (http://amzn.to/2ldkHqX) stood out as a likely candidate. The $229.99 RT2600ac, which is the follow-up to last year’s popular RT1900ac (http://amzn.to/2mmVCyG), contains a wealth of new additions, and is considerably more power-user friendly than Apple’s AirPort Extreme.</p>
<p>Synology’s routers run the SRM operating system, which makes managing the RT2600ac similar to driving one of the company’s popular NAS boxes. But does this router make a good replacement for the easy-to-use AirPort Extreme? Have a look at our hands-on video walkthrough as I showcase 15 of my favorite RT2600ac features.</p>
