Taking things a step further is the Package Center. This is basically like an app store for the router, with a plethora of well designed and superbly optimised apps that add more functionality to the RT2600AC router. However, do keep in mind that, since the router does not have a lot of built-in storage, you will have to invest in an SD card or an external USB storage device in order to install most of the packages. Some of these packages also include their own built in apps, which means you can even stream media to your device when you are out.
Coming to the built in features, the Synology RT2600AC Router has a huge buffet of built-in features which alone could give it the crown for best in-class router. One of them is the Web Filter. Parental controls have taken a prominence thanks to many youngsters getting access to the internet very early on these days. It has become imperative for the parents to protect their young ones from potentially harmful and sensitive content online. The Web filter on the RT2600AC router filters content and blocks access to content based on categories like adult, social networking, ads, etc. The user can initiate the block as per a set schedule or even do so manually.
Another nifty feature is the Web traffic control. Here, users can manage and monitor their internet bandwidth. The router sends detailed reports on the internet usage and the specifics of the traffic on the sites in use, giving the user full access to the information in order to take action if required.
