Set up Your Synology Router

Install Antennas

1. Point the antenna at the antenna base.

2. Turn clockwise until the antenna is secured.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the other antennas. For optimal Wi-Fi performance, tilt the antennas so that they are at a 90 degree angle to the surface.

   

Position Your RT2600ac

For optimal performance, it is recommended to position your RT2600ac as advised below:

• On a stable surface (e.g. an elevated shelf) away from any possible physical interruptions.

• Close to the center of the area where the wired/wireless client devices are placed, and within a visible distance from the wireless devices.

• In a position where few walls and ceilings are between your RT2600ac and its client devices.

• Away from any potential electrical signal sources, such as other Wi-Fi routers, 3G/4G bases, and microwave ovens.

• Away from large expanses of metal or other materials, such as metal doors, glass panels, and concrete.

Place Flat on a Surface

Simply place your RT2600ac flat on a horizontal, stable surface.

Connect to Your RT2600ac

1. Use the included network cable to connect your RT2600ac (at the WAN1 port) to the ISP modem. Connect one end of the power adapter to the power port on your RT2600ac, and the other end to the power outlet. Press the power button to power on your RT2600ac. Wait for up to two minutes until the STATUS and WAN LED indicators turn green.

   

   📘

   Note: If you wish to use Smart WAN, connect your RT2600ac (at the WAN1 and LAN1 ports) to the ISP modem with network cables. The remaining LAN ports will be available for wired devices.

2. Connect wireless client devices to your RT2600ac. When the 2.4G/5G LED indicators have turned static green, RT2600ac is ready to connect with other devices. Use your wireless device to scan and join the Wi-Fi network created by your RT2600ac.

   

   📘

   Note:

   Below are the default credentials for the Wi-Fi network:

   • Wi-Fi SSID: Synology_(Serial)

   • Password: synology

   The default credentials can be changed during the initial SRM setup.

3. Connect wired client devices to your RT2600ac. Use network cables to connect devices to the LAN ports. The corresponding LAN LED indicators should turn orange/green to indicate successful connection.

   

Set up Synology Router Manager (SRM)

1. Use a computer or wireless device connected to your RT2600ac's local network. If you use a wireless device, scan and join the Wi-Fi network (SSID: Synology_(Serial); Password: synology).

2. Open a web browser, and enter either URL into the address bar:

   • http://router.synology.com

   • http://192.168.1.1:8000

3. Once connected, click Start to launch the SRM Setup Wizard.

4. Fill in the information to set up the administrator account. Click Next to continue.

5. Fill in the information to set up the Wi-Fi network. Click Next to continue.

6. Set up the operation mode. When choosing the Wireless Router mode, you can also enable External access to SRM so that only external access via the HTTP(S) port (e.g. 8000/8001) can reach SRM.

7. Choose an Internet connection type:

   • PPPoE: Choose this option if you have obtained PPPoE credentials from the ISP.

   • Manual IP: Choose this option if you have obtained an available IP address for use.

   • Auto IP: Choose this option if you rely on an ISP modem for automatic IP assignment.

8. The wizard will continue to set up your RT2600ac, and it may take up to three minutes to complete the setup.

9. After the setup is complete, click Start managing now to enjoy SRM and its various features.

📘

Note:

1. Above is a general demonstration of the SRM setup steps. The steps and available options may somewhat vary depending on your device type (e.g. PC or wireless device), access type (LAN, WAN, or Wireless LAN), and chosen operation mode (Wireless Router or Wireless AP).

2. If the setup is to be completed with a wireless device, remember to download DS router to manage your RT2600ac from anywhere.
