SUMMARY
Synology’s RT1900ac is a bit of a TARDIS, with the small and unexciting shell concealing an expansive and powerful core. It offers solid performance and it’s killer feature is the slick and attractive interface with expandable apps. Personally, I spend very little time in my current router’s interface, after the initial setup I rarely return unless there are problems to deal with. Synology could change this, offering a lightweight home server that can manage downloads, network user authentication, security, file storage, and VPN access. However, until Synology or community efforts produce more apps, you are left with just the potential for more that the five initial apps.
The question that remains unanswered is whether Synology has done enough to become a player in the home router market. Is the RT1900ac good enough to buy it over an established brand such as Linksys/Dlink/ASUS/TP-Link/Netgear?
The router market is certainly becoming more competitive, and we are seeing real innovation in this space. Synology are obviously aware of this and have created a great router, but there are still some devices with better specs out there. Linksys has sported eSATA ports on their WRT1900ac, Asus doubles down on speed with the RT-AC5300 , and Google have a 13-antenna setup for maximising coverage.
Maybe we are getting to a point when specifications don’t matter so much. AC1900 is super speedy compared to Wireless-N, and it works well enough for the vast majority of households. I think the next front on the router battlefield will be the smart router, the router that does more than just connect wireless devices to the internet. If this is the case, Synology have made a great opening salvo with the RT1900ac, and the other sides would be wise to pay attention.
