Synology Router Windows Internet Name Service Dhcp

I recently upgraded my cable internet to 1 gigabits/sec and my current Synology router cannot deliver that speed nor do I get consistent internet speed throughout my house. Second floor signal is very week. Netgear Orbi 752 fixes the problem. Speed is about 950 Mbs on both floors. Great product for the price.

The modem works great with my Cox internet service! I have it paired with a router and it works great.

Synology is a very versatile server. It can act not just as a NAS, but as a Media Center, DNS server, DHCP server, FTP server, e-mail server, and so on, and so on. I am very pleased with its performance so far.

I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios Gigabit service and bought the Verizon G3100 router with WiFi 6 capabilities. Huge mistake. The router worked fine, but Verizon's awful interface and security problems caused huge problems for my business. Long story short - I had to file an FCC complaint to get a refund on my router, and bought this router to replace it. I was nervous because this is not a WiFi 6 router. Well, not a problem. It is every bit as fast as my Verizon router is with all of my current devices. Going forward, there may be new devices that would run faster on a WiFi 6 router, but I've been very happy with the speeds I'm getting on all devices (4 computers, 2 iPads, 2 phones and a variety of IOT devices) with the Synology routers. Where Synology really shines is the ease of setting it up. I unplugged the Verizon router, plugged in the Synology router, followed the easy Synology instructions, and it just worked. I also use Synology's Surveillance Station on my NAS and a variety of other Synology applications, and they all updated port forwarding and other settings automatically. Finally, and where the Verizon router completely failed, Synology has built-in VPN software that was simple to set up and also works seamlessly. Until today (30 Sep), Synology was also offering free VPN licenses for multiple connections. My only regret is that I didn't get the Synology router when I first upgraded to Gigabit service. I'll happily wait for Synology to come out with a Wifi 6e router. I don't know how long that will take, but in the mean time, this router does everything I want and need beyond my expectations.

The router works great as a replacement for my ASUS router. Using this in AP mode, while my ISP router provides DHCP and wifi in the basement. Neat that it handles both 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices on the same SSID. An alternate bundle includes a WiFi extender for mesh networking. Stronger signal and a speed boost.

Oh, I like this router.  I like it a lot.  It is tiny.  It is probably a quarter of the size of the consumer router from Cisco/Linksys, prior to the Belkin acquisition of Linksys, that it replaced.  It is also a managed switch so it is much more feature packed.  It can handle multiple VLANs, VPN, Firewall rules, NAT rules with DMZ roles, and the list goes on.    Here is the negative: It is a managed router with an interface designed for professional network engineers.  I have worked in IT professionally for nearly 25 years and I am extremely grateful that Ubiquiti included the WAN+2LAN2 Wizard as part of their management software.  I was reading through the software manual to set the router up and I am thinking, I see how to configure DHCP, I see how to configure internal routes, now how do I set this up to use DHCP on one of the network ports that I plug in to the cable modem and set up that route to the private network served by this routers DHCP server through NAT?  It turns out the afore mentioned wizard sets up that exact configuration which can then be easily tweaked once all the parts are in place.  And that wizard matters because unlike a consumer router, there is not a dedicated jack to plug in to your modem; any of the five jacks can be configured in that role or any other role.   Basically, this little guy can make your network as intricate as you can conceive with five network ports.  Even with the wizard it is more involved than setting up a consumer router, but a little reading of the manual for individuals not familiar with the terms being used and it should not be much more difficult.  As a final note, the manual can be downloaded from the manufacturers website and if it looks overwhelming then this probably is not the product for you.

I tried a competitors thermostat. It would not work through my internet. They blamed in on my service provider, my router and my iPhone. Had an Ecobee installed and it worked perfectly in a few minutes. Both installer and I were totally pleased.

Since having our new router, our internet service has been amazing. No more lag time and interruptions. A wonderful product.

Purchased the nighthawk modem/router combo for my spectrum internet service and it easily provides Wi-Fi to 4 phones,3 tvs streaming,a printer,Wi-Fi cameras and a MacBook This is a great product and the set up is simple

We purchased this product to get better quality with our internet. The router we purchased from our provider didn’t even support the service we were paying for. We are getting almost every bit of internet speed we have almost up to our Gig.
