Can I add a Synology Router to a third-party mesh Wi-Fi system?

Details

You cannot use a Synology Router to build a mesh Wi-Fi system with third-party routers. The workaround is to use a Synology Router as a wireless access point (wireless AP) in a mesh Wi-Fi system created with third-party routers.

Resolution

Configure your Synology Router as a wireless AP using the steps in this article. Connect it to a third-party router with an Ethernet cable to add it to a third-party mesh Wi-Fi system.

Notes:

  • When a Synology Router is connected to a third-party mesh Wi-Fi system in AP mode, the roaming mechanism of the mesh Wi-Fi system cannot be applied to the Synology Router.
