Question about Synology RT2600ac
Unfortunately I can't find the height of the router with the antennas anywhere. Can someone who owns this device tell me how high it really is? Is it possible to make the device "smaller" and tilt the antennas?
Helpful answer
The specifications of the router are 77 X 280 X 169 mm (without antenna).
The antennas themselves are about 170mm long up to the bending axis. However, when connected, they protrude about an additional 30mm on the sides.
About the alignment of the antennas: The antenna radiates its signals at right angles from the antenna. Since it is usually a rod antenna, this is a directional plane. The somewhat better routers have several antennas. Each antenna radiates its own WLAN signal. Therefore, all antennas should point in different directions. This way you get an optimal distribution of the signal. If all the antennas point in one direction, the signal will not be stronger. If one points upwards, the second forwards and the third to the side, the alignment is best covered.
Whether you want to make it "smaller" depends on how the antennas are positioned in relation to each other and whether you want to accept a loss of signal quality or not.
I hope your questions have been answered. Greetings redwood_ch
