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?!?!

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.

This app for the Synology router is great. I've never had any problems using it. It allows me to do everything I need to do with the router without having to login using the web based authentication. It also lets you trigger firmware updates from the app. The parental controls have a wide range of features/options that are all controllable via the app. It's the main reason I made this choice on the specific router. No complaints here.
