Network

Set up your Synology DiskStation Internet connection to enable remote access from anywhere and at anytime. DSM offers options such as PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) and router configuration settings to accommodate different Internet connection environment. Refine the settings with DDNS and firewall. Additionally, with the new EZ-Internet Wizard, connecting your Synology DiskStation to the Internet is simple, requiring merely a few clicks.

EZ-Internet Wizard

The new EZ-Internet Wizard guides the user through the steps necessary to establish remote Internet access to their DiskStation, including firewall settings, PPPoE setup, DDNS registration, and router port forwarding configurations. In addition, users who are new to DDNS service may simply register a new DDNS account (from No-IP.com) on EZ-Internet user interface. For novice users, the often-troublesome task of forwarding ports can be accomplished with the help of the EZ-Internet wizard. In just minutes, your router¹ will be automatically configured to allow remote access, freeing the user from complex configuration and management.

DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) support allows you to create a hostname that points to your home or office IP address, providing an easy-to-remember URL for quick access. DSM has 6 built-in popular DDNS providers for easy integration. You can also register a new DDNS hostname in EZ-Internet Wizard.

PPPoE

If you use a DSL or cable modem to connect to the Internet, and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), enable PPPoE and enter the account information to directly connect to the Internet without the router.

Router Configuration

To establish remote access to a DiskStation that is connected to a router, you need to configure port forwarding. The Router Configuration page allows you to choose your router model from the drop-down list and set up the port forwarding rules on your router to forward the specified ports on your router to DiskStation.

Link Aggregation

The Link Aggregation² function on Synology DiskStation uses two Ethernet ports in parallel to provide trunking and network fault tolerance features as long as both LAN cables reside on the same switch.

Synology DiskStations deliver support in two modes:

1. IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation: IEEE 802.3ad is the standard for most Link Aggregation implementations. A switch with 802.3ad support is required.
2. Network Fault Tolerance only. If the LAN 1 port becomes unavailable, the system will use LAN 2 to provide service. You can select this option if your switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad.

Wireless Dongle

Get connectivity with a USB wireless dongle. In a wireless environment, simply plug a dongle into your DiskStation and obtain instant access to the Internet and file sharing. You can join a wireless network or enter an ad-Hoc network.
