Synology WRX560 Review

The Synology WRX560 has download speeds of 120.42 Mbps and 640.41 Mbps on its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, while the Synology RT2600AC has speeds of up to 137.6 Mbps and 425.3 Mbps on the same two bands. The Synology WRX560 is designed with two WAN ports, while the Synology RT2600AC has only one. On the other hand, the WRX560 has only one USB port, while the RT2600AC has two. We’ve covered the RT2600AC in our Synology RT2600AC review if you’re interested. These two are dual-band routers, but if you’re searching for a tri-band alternative, our Razer Sila AC3000 review might be worthwhile. 

The Synology WRX560 doesn’t have download speeds that are as fast as the Rock Space RSD0619. The WRX560 hits speeds of up to 120.42 Mbps and 640.41 Mbps on its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, while the RSD0619 gets to 574 Mbps and 1200 Mbps on the same bands. The WRX560 also has six antennas while the RSD0619 has 4, and while the former ships with Anti-malware tools, the latter does not. Finally, link aggregation is also supported by the WRX560 but not by the RSD0619. If you’re interested, check out what else the RWSD0619 has to offer by going through our Rock Space RSD0619 review. 

Regarding connectivity, the Synology WRX560’s single USB port gives it a slight advantage over the TP-Link Archer A6, which does not have any. Also, the WRX560 has two WAN ports and three LAN ports, while the A6 has one WAN port and four LAN ports. 

However, the WRX560 offers slower download speeds, achieving 120.42 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 640.41 Mbps on the 5GHz band, while the TP-Link does 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps on the 5GHz band. For added convenience, we’ve covered the latter in our TP-Link Archer A6 AC1200 review, so feel free to check it out.
