Revolutionary software experience

Synology Router Manager (SRM) powers Synology's networking lineup. SRM allows for friendly management of your device while not compromising on features and customization. Based on Synology's award winning DiskStation Manager (DSM) in proven DiskStation Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, SRM is built with security and stability in mind.

SRM features Synology's friendly, easy to use interface. The familiar, desktop-like interface makes it easy for even beginners to manage their entire network. DSM users will feel right at home while advanced power users will find capable network tools at their disposal to quickly and efficiently setup, customize, or troubleshoot an issue.

Secure and convenient access options are built into SRM. Easily manage your network with multiple access methods locally, with "router.synology.com" and optionally, remotely with QuickConnect, DDNS, or with DS router on mobile devices. Optional two-step authentication ensures that no one but you can make changes to your network.

Advanced VPN capabilities

With the optional VPN Plus Server add-on package, you can transform your Synology Router RT2600ac into a powerful yet intuitive comprehensive VPN solution. WebVPN and Synology SSL VPN allow for minimal client setup and configuration to access your network. VPN Plus Server also supports hosting standard SSTP, PPTP, OpenVPN, and L2TP over IPSec VPN options.

WebVPN allows client-free VPN for secured, remote access to internal websites using only a browser without any software installation or configuration required on clients. Synology SSL VPN is available with dedicated clients on both desktop and mobile platforms for improved performance and integration with Layer 7 traffic control.

Solid network foundation

Synology Router RT2600ac features advanced security features that help make your network more resilient against network intrusions.

The powerful, constantly updated database of websites allow for smart, customized filters to be applied per-device to prevent access or protection from, up to 20 different types of websites.

SRM features deep packet inspection (DPI) capability, allowing for application based monitoring on your network. One step beyond traditional QoS methods, SRM allows you to define which applications you want prioritized in addition to fixed and/or dynamic guaranteed bandwidth allocation per device. This powerful per-device flexibility can continuously be fine tuned on thanks to detailed usage reports that SRM can generate for you. Easily see what are the most common websites viewed, applications used, in addition to per-device usage statistics.

The RT2600ac's new Layer 7 hardware acceleration engine allows minimal performance and throughput drop even with advanced traffic control and monitoring enabled.
