You read the headline correctly ? this is not a review of a Synology NAS, but instead a wireless router. If this sounds unusual to you, you are not alone. Synology is a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) company, or at least it used to be, as it's now taking all its networking expertise and jumping into the router market. Plainly named, the Synology RT1900ac Router, the company's fledgling entry into this crowded market, is a dual-band AC unit. As you might have guessed, it's capable of 1,900Mb/s of bandwidth across its 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, offering up to 600Mb/s on the 2.4GHz spectrum, 1,300Mb/s on the 5GHz spectrum and it's 802.11ac compatible and compliant.

Though that all sounds pretty good, Synology isn't looking to innovate in this market on the hardware side, but rather on the software side, as the company is offering its router with a totally new interface powered by its NAS software IP that's unlike anything we've ever seen before, for a router at least...
