Earlier this week at the beginning of May rumors about the new RT6600ax Synology router started popping up as the release date for the router is quickly approaching. The good news is that Synology’s long-awaited router will be released on May 11, 2022. The date may vary with country, but May seems to be it as far as month goes.
May 11, 2022.
A few days ago Synology’s RT6600ax router made its appearance on the Amazon UK store, with price displayed, but soon after it was put up for sale, its price was withdrawn. Of course, I, Marius, was there and saw how much it cost! The price for the new router was around 315 pounds. The latest update shows the price for the RT6600ax is about $299 USD or around 285 EUR. So it would appear that the RT6600ax will cost about 100 EUR / 100 Dollars more than its predecessor, the RT2600ac. However, given the product price tag was taken off Amazon quickly, the price may potentially be subject to change.
Qualcomm Atheros IPQ6018 Quad-core ARM 64-bit A53 at 1.8 GHz. RAM DDR3 1 GB.
RT6600ax comes with the new SRM 1.3 Operating System.
In the next few days your Internet friend Marius will make a full review of the RT6600ax router and, of course, start using it on my environment. I will be making the upgrade from a Synology RT2600ac to the new RT6600ax router.
