In all, these Wi-Fi specs resemble those of many mesh systems on the market. And that's likely because Synology has designed the MR2200ac to also work as a satellite mesh point, allowing you to link two or more units into a Wi-Fi system. Fixed an issue where Internet connections established via MAP-E might fail after Synology Router was restarted. Synology mesh vs. Asus’s AiMesh Asus AiMesh vs Synology mesh: It’s kind of home vs business, options vs stability Hopefully, most, if not all, of these will be worked out via firmware updates. Synology mesh vs Asus AiMesh

This may be of interest to some; I have a rather involved home network setup. Partly, because (now retired) I have worked in IT, and Network administrative roles, but still love playing with this stuff. Plus, given the mounting internet threat, it has now become necessary to isolate (as much as possible) IoT devices, and even devices connected to Guest networks, from our personal use devices, such as PCs, Phones, Tablets…etc. This, in an effort to avoid any sort of malware from getting into things we really want to protect.The home networking space hasn't seen a lot of design changes in the last 10 years, but with mesh routers, manufacturers have started to add a bit of flair to make the devices stand out. Google Wifi, for instance, looks pretty distinctive with its white aesthetic, and AmpliFi's mesh solution stands out thanks to a cube design for the primary router.

Fixed an issue where SRM didn't show reminder messages when hostnames at the DHCP Reservation tab contained illegal characters. Fixed an issue where SRM might not work properly when the network is connected via certain 4G LTE dongles.The update is expected to be available for all regions within the next few weeks, although the time of release in each region may vary slightly. Also, I was considering buying a few MR2200ac units as the satellites. Presumably then I should buy a higher-specced unit as the main unit, and connect each MR2200ac satellite to the LAN port of the main unit? Which main unit would you recommend (i.e. RT2600ac, WRX560, RT660ax)? Reply If your Synology Router has joined a domain, you will need to reconfigure the automatic update interval at Control Panel > User > Domain.

So, Synology routers are much less flexible than Asus AiMesh routers in their hardware combos. But that can be a good thing to work out the potential bugs. For users currently on SRM 1.2.3 8017 Update 3: Due to issues introduced in Update 3, certain scheduled tasks no longer function as expected. If you have set up and used the following features, manual actions will be required to restore functionality.

But in which case, a multi-gig switch would suffice for this purpose instead of needing multiple multi-gig ports on the router? Or is this the wrong way of thinking about it?
