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.

Notes:

Model specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
The figures are based on Synology internal testing. Each performance test is done individually. No other services or applications are processed at the same time.
The actual performance may be lower than lab testing figure due to differences in server configuration, deployment, and the number of active operations.
If usage requirements exceed the specifications above, please contact our regional partners for professional advice.
