Highly Rated Router

This router was rated the highest by Consumer Reports. I was having some trouble with my internet service and the tech that came out told me that the “Synology was a very high quality router”

Very fast, covers smaller house with no extender

It looks like an evil spaceship and it's very fast. Finally upgraded to a modern 5Ghz router after my ISP gateway failed to come close to delivering the 1Gbps I was paying for. It's placed at the front of a one-story, 2-bedroom ranch house and provides a quality signal in all parts of the house for two home offices, cell phones and a 3-speaker Sonos system. The signal drops off a little on the back deck, but I don't see the need for an extender yet. Setup was simple but I wasn't making any modifications. As far as appearance, it's a bold statement if you place it out in the open where it will be most effective. I don't care right now (lockdown) because no one is allowed in the house anyway. Was very happy to find this model through Adorama and will come back for other tech.

Top Rated But Impossible for (some?) DSL Users

"...We found the router does not automatically assign a DNS (typically, from your service provider) and had no setup guidance to point that out. Be ready with your own DNS or your service provider's DNS to set it up" -Consumer Reports August 6, 2019 Translation: My experience as a DSL customer is that I could not perform the initial router setup and was unable to obtain any support from neither the internet provider nor Synology technical support. It cost $33 to ship back by UPS for a refund. Be sure to take advantage of Adorama's nominal $13 shipping fee if you are unfortunate enough to have a similar experience.

Excellent home WiFi router, probably the best.

Mind you, this review is coming from an IS Manager who has over 20 years experience in networking. This has got to be the best wireless router I've used at home. I've used Linksys, Netgear, Asus, TP-Link and D-Link routers, this one has definitely beaten them all. It has excellent reach and easily covers my whole home in wireless signal. For a novice, it's an excellent, secure and easy to setup home wireless router, for an experienced user it has all the features you'd want from a router. It has easy to setup DDNS services that easily connect with what ever domain hosting service you use, it's able to download a VPN application to allow you to connect to your home network when you're on the road, it's Firewall is excellent at blocking traffic to known malicious sites and prevent those sites from reaching computers on your network. Honestly, it has all the features you'd want in a secure home wireless router. Just buy this router and you won't regret it.
