Ratings and reviews

Great router, lousy app. I've used a lot of routers with parental controls over the years. Some were missing important features, others wouldn't work half the time. Synology router is a dream in that it's a powerful router with every parental control feature I need. But the app is half baked. To make matters worse, there's a Web portal one can use to setup & change parental control settings that's pretty good but this app is missing features or works differently compared to the portal. Why?!?!

My primary use of the router is for parental controls. Safe Access needs work: When I open the app and tap on Safe Access, it won't display properly until I tap on Device List and then go back to Safe Access. When extending hours of use, it displays "rewarding," but doesn't show an updated cut off time. You can't reward with temporary time quota extension, which is a critical feature. Instead, you have to manually edit the time quota for the day, and then change it back the next day.

This is the best router management app I've used. Way better than Tether, by miles. I use this app for general management of our network utilizing a Synology RT6600 router. For parental controls this app is the best I've seen. Aside from giving you the ability to set multiple networks (depending on router model), you can set independent schedules and control the amount of Internet time by child, and see which devices are connected.
