Adequate, but room for improvement

Just started using this app and it works fine for some actions, but there’s a few notable shortcomings:1. Notifications of domains blocked by safe access filters don’t mention which device was trying to access the domain—which is critical info I need to contact the user(s) affected.2. I am annoyed at getting “blocked” notifications for domains I manually added to a filter block list. If I manually block a domain, I don’t want to keep hearing about it, so i want the app to avoid sending notifications about explicitly blocked domains.

Needs SmartWAN Configuration

Good App, does what it is supposed to do for the majority for sure. Could become a Great App if you integrate the SmartWAN configuration from the Internet Config in the router to the App.You might ask why - well in years past Load Balance with Fail-Over was a set it and forget function. Now things have changed for many - if you are running Starlink you'll know that Mr Musk's promises are not 24/7 - there are times where instead of 100M download you're maybe getting 10M. Having the "slider" out of the router to change from 90/10 to 10/90 quick and easy would be fantastic and a whole lot quicker than logging into the router twice - once to set it and again to change it back.

Solid app for solid router

The app provides everything that’s needed for basic setup, maintenance, monitoring, etc. There are some more advanced things that need to be done through the SRM web interface, but I feel that Synology did a good job balancing simplicity vs. functionality here. My only complaint is that it doesn’t offer dark mode.

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.

1. Fixed the issue where DS router might display Connection Lost after opening the detailed view of a Wi-Fi point in a mesh Wi-Fi system. 2. Fixed the issue where DS router might not be able to select WPA2/WPA3-Personal as the security level for a Wi-Fi network. 3. Minor bug fixed
