Connectivity issues

Non stop connectivity issues. This is a piece of junk

Not as good as before

The app has changed over the years; it used to be more responsive and was efficient to use. Now it lags and is difficult to navigate. R&D needs to do some testing to make sure the app works as intended.

It’s fine

Many functional oddities but overall a good option for fine grain control of wifi access for the family

Need main feature

I like this brand a lot on some features. However, it’s missing a main feature from synology mesh router, that is able to set “preferred mesh node”, devices are jumping around mesh nodes creating weak connection all the time. We seriously need that. Synology has good hardware, but client devices jumping back and forth on access node/mesh point drive me crazy when you actually have synology mesh network.

Très bon mais à améliorer

Cette application fonctionne très bien et permet de suivre le routeur depuis n’importe où
Par contre il manque une fonction importante lorsque le routeur est en mesh c’est l’impossibilité de bloquer un device wifi sur l’un ou l’autre d’un mesh .

Helpful app

Let’s me keep control of my kids wifi access, device by device.

Poor internet service

Spectrum says their side is strong but they my router shuts down internet constantly throughout the day

Headache

Every day I have to delete app, redownload it and log back in for this to work. Each new day when I attempt to log in I get a message that states unable to connect to router. Worked great for years, not sure if they updated something but a constant headache the last month or so

Ok

Ok app

It’s good

The interface makes things really easy. Some of the web filtering isn’t very easy to get right

Ausencia de actualizaciones y evolución.

Si bien el software es bastante estable y en principio lo encontraba completo, no se ha actualizado nada durante años y carece de integración de funcionalidades que encuentro relevantes en el router como Threat Protection, DNS Server, etc

Needs more features

I want to be able to configure my access point to prevent certain devices from connecting to it. One of my Sonos speakers in my living room keeps connecting to the AP on a different floor, through cement and steel walls, rather than the router that is less than 20’ away and has direct line of sight. Many cheaper brands have this feature, so my Synology routers are going on Ebay.

The Best Family Router

Really really good router! So much free easy parental control.
Downside is you can’t ad apps that the Synology NAS drives can have.

Covers the basics decently

The app covers the basics most people need but for “tinkerers” accessing settings through a web browser directly is the better way. The app does have a clean, intuitive UI that is a pleasure to use, but really needs a dark mode option.

not work my synology

and injure my network DO NOT USE

App needs work

Lacks basic functions the pc browser has. Have had consistent issues with the app not connecting to the router and have to manually power cycle the router to allow the app to connect. Sadly, Synology hasn’t released a new router since 2022. The WRX560 was the most recent. I had to retire my old RT2600 as it couldn’t keep up with the increase in technology on the network. I chose to go with another manufacturer since Synology seems to have gone a different path other than routers.

Useful but still need to improve its connection

The connection sometimes is not stable need to kill the app and run again

Basic

The app is seriously basic compared to the full web admin. Really needs to be updated and upgraded.

Outdated application

A very old application. No development. Minimal features compared to the Web GUI. Wake up, Synology!
