WIN! One Of 3x Synology RT1900ac Wi-Fi Routers (And Review It For Gizmodo!)

We’re big fans of Synology’s network gear here at Gizmodo, so we’re excited to give you the chance to win a new $229 Synology RT1900ac wireless router — and review it over Christmas!

Entering is super easy: tell us in the comments how you’d use one!

Thank you for your entries! The competition has now closed.

Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple by sending you a basic list of questions to build your write-up.

Synology’s RT1900ac router lets you organise just about every aspect of your home’s wired or Wi-Fi network. If you want to make sure your Xbox or PlayStation is getting a straight pipe to the ‘net, or if you want to stop your kids from looking at Facebook on their laptops after 10PM, this is the device you need in the middle of your house.

The $229 Synology RT1900ac is a high-speed AC1900 router — it’s capable of a combined 1900Mbps transfer rate, across the 1300Mbps-capable 802.11ac 5GHz band and 600Mbps-capable 802.11n 2.4GHz band.

Four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port will satisfy your connectivity needs. The File Station service lets users access files from any locally-attached storage drive connected to the RT1900ac — there’s a side-mounted USB 3.0 port and SD card reader.

Streaming is a breeze, and you can also play content from external storage, on a DLNA compatible TV or media player. It’s perfect for gaming, too, since you can prioritise bandwidth to the devices you need the most. So you won’t be able to blame it on the lag anymore.
