Your primary network is probably where most of your devices reside: laptops, tablets, smartphones, and smart TVs or speakers. Using Safe Access, you can easily create a default network profile that blocks malicious content and applies more restrictive filtering on shopping, adult, or other offensive content — ideal to manage how children spend their time online.

Need to share internet access with visiting friends or with the neighbors? Synology SRM enables you to easily isolate guest networks and configure access for the occasional connection to your Chromecast or AirPlay device. Apply more stringent bandwidth constraints and web filtering to ensure your network and connection quality are not affected by compromised devices.

Smart sensors and other IoT devices are convenient, but often easy to compromise because they receive less frequent updates. Keep these devices separated from your primary network to prevent them from providing backdoors for potential malicious attacks. For more advanced management, configure one-way firewall rules to allow limited access for specific devices.

Whether you are running your own business or just have a well-equipped studio or home lab setup, you can isolate your servers and devices to help prevent interference or security issues if your network is hosting external resources or is often accessed by remote colleagues.

Keep IP cameras and devices storing security footage isolated, preventing unauthorized access should one of your other networks be hacked. One-way firewall rules allow you to conveniently manage these sensitive devices without compromising security, while independent traffic control rules ensure that surveillance tasks never get interrupted or slowed down.

How convenience can meet security

IoT products can easily be segregated, avoiding potential exploitation without affecting functionality.

Synology

Newer vehicles, dashcams, HVAC systems, and battery/solar power systems are increasingly equipped with network connectivity for greater control and insight into their performance (e.g., energy generated from your solar installation).

Synology

Many TVs and speakers can now respond to voice commands, making them an ideal fit for smart home platforms with multi-room playback capabilities and hands-free access. Smart connectivity also makes it possible to receive recipes or timely reminders about the condition of food stored in your smart fridge.

Synology

Video doorbells introduce convenient and safe ways to check who is at your door. No matter how busy you are, smart gardening systems can optimize irrigation. And when you get visitors, multiple PIR sensors and lights can be linked together to increase illumination and create more comfortable environments.

Synology

Modern bedrooms can be furnished with networked window blinds, smart lighting, and HVAC controls to improve the atmosphere. Next-generation fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide sensors are easier to link together and can work in conjunction with your smartphone to send out critical alerts.

Mesh Wi-Fi

Say goodbye to Wi-Fi dead zones. Combine multiple Synology routers (MR2200ac or other) for consistent and high-speed whole-home coverage under a single Wi-Fi name.

Wi-Fi 5 vs Wi-Fi 6 — which one is ideal for you?

Check your internet speeds

In our tests, in a 2,000 ft2 space with a 300Mbps internet plan, we found no differences in Wi-Fi internet transfer speeds between RT2600ac (Wi-Fi 5) and RT6600ax (Wi-Fi 6). The reason is that both routers can deliver Wi-Fi transfer speeds that exceed 300Mbps.1 The bottleneck in this scenario is the internet speed.

Making an optimal decision

Given internet speeds are often the bottleneck, RT2600ac can be an equally capable but more cost-effective option for many use cases, including the following: rental apartments, vacation homes, studios, 1- or 2-bedroom apartments, etc.

On the other hand, if you have a multi-gig internet plan, a much larger space to cover, or more than 100 Wi-Fi devices, Wi-Fi 6 routers like RT6600ax or WRX560 are the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions What is mesh Wi-Fi and what are the benefits of using it?
Mesh Wi-Fi is a whole-home Wi-Fi system that enables multiple routers to work together, providing wider and more reliable network coverage under a single Wi-Fi name.
How do I set up a Wi-Fi mesh network?

You will need at least two Synology Routers, one to function as the main unit and others as Wi-Fi points (see table for details). Setup is quick and easy and can be done through a web browser or the DS router mobile app. Refer to the following guide for detailed instructions.

*To use RT2600ac as an additional Wi-Fi point, users must upgrade to SRM 1.3 or above and then perform a hard reset.

What are VLANs and what are their benefits? How should I set them up?
See the following guide to learn about everything VLAN.
When setting up mesh, where do I place my Wi-Fi points for the best Wi-Fi signal?
See the following guide on best practices for router placement.
