Reasonably easy to setup on Spark Fibre. Used settings on Spark site for non-Spark Modem to get it talking to the ONT.
Good QOS and monitoring features. Easy firmware updates for the SRM. Alerts and Scheduled Reports can be emailed to you.
Compared to Spark's Huawei Router/WIFI, this unit has a very powerful WIFI range. What was 3/5 bars at 30 metres in steel framed house, the Synology is 5/5 bars.
Have setup a 5GB USB stick to store log files ... so easy to do. Reasonably easy to setup on Spark Fibre. Used settings on Spark site for non-Spark Modem to get it talking to the ONT.

Big improvement over Spark router, stable 5GHz WiFi, lots of nice app features like Intrusion Prevention, VPN Plus Server with a nice interface. Get a decent SD card for the apps to be save and run from.

Baught the Synology Router to replace the router supplied by Spark for my 1Gb Fibre MAX Broadband connection. The new Synology router is so much better, it's very easy to set up and has a great user interface, I had it up and running inside an hour. Over the few weeks since I bought it I have noticed the Synology is much more stable and has not needed to be "re-booted" at all. Compare that to my old Spark router and I was always haveing to re-boot it because the WiFi had stopped working or the connection to the internet had dropped out.

Also the WiFi coverage on this Synology router is way better, I could not get WiFi coverege in the garage before but now I have the Synology I can get WiFi in the garage and the garden and in lots of other places that were just WiFi "dead zones" when using the Spark router. It could be considered a bit expensive but if you want a reliable router with great WiFi coverage that is easily set-up then I would strongly recomment the Synology RT2600ac.

What a big improvement over the standard Spark Huawei router. Fast, not too hard to setup and looks good to boot. What a big improvement over the standard Spark Huawei router. Fast, not too hard to setup and looks good to boot.

By far the best router I've ever owned, simple to setup with the DSM software installed, and if you already own a Synolody NAS then its very familiar. Ver customisable with a tonne of features, and the wifi speed is insane.

Definitely the best router I have used. Great WIFI coverage and strong signals throughout the house. I bought this router because I wanted SMB 2 for file sharing, almost all of the other routers only support the obsolete SMB1. Very easy to configure all of the powerful features Highly recommended!!!

Very fast router, great interface. Very fast router, great interface.

I had a Netgear D6200, it was struggling with hosting the DHCP table with all the extra smart home bits, 3 AP points and mobile phones/laptops.
I did a bit of research and found Synology was a trusted brand. Specifically this router was more suited for a small business (so should be fine with a large home), had powerful range, and an app to monitor the network status.
Wow, I am so very pleased with it.
Not once have I had to reset APs or the router itself to resolve IP conflicts, and I've been using it for about 1 month. I can even remove one of my APs due to the improved range.

I would highly recommend to those looking for a reliable, large home/small to medium business.
The only con was it was a bit more expensive than I'd planned on spending, but hey, you get what you pay for, and now I have it, it's worth every penny.

Fantastic router for the money. Handles my smart home with ease (30 connected devices in total) and so many features that make it a family friendly router, set up profiles for each family member and their devices, to monitor and protect children. Cannot recommend this router more! Fantastic router for the money.

This router is all good I suppose, a friend of mine who knows stuff said it's an impressive piece of hardware, yet I still wish I had never bought it. I had no idea that choosing a router that was not supplied by my ISP was going to be such a headache. Took hours to set this up and now my landline doesn't work and I cannot seem to find an ISP that will allow me to have a landline or VoIP without using their router. The only way to get my landline back is to bridge my old router to this one which just seems ridiculous. So again, wish I had never bought this and just stuck with the ISP provider routers.

A very good Router. WiFi coverage and speed phenomenal. Some issues connecting to Spark that aren't mentioned on their website, you need to set the Vtd to 10 in the IPTV & VoIP tab. Thereafter I had to restart (turn off & on) the ONT and Router. A very good Router. WiFi coverage and speed phenomenal.
