Comments on DS router for Android

★★★★★ Owais Khan · Mar 9, 2025

Synology is the best router with extraordinary controls for parental control, quota, etc. And DS Router is an amazing app to control that

★★★★★ Wes Highfield · Dec 3, 2022

This app for the Synology router is great. I've never had any problems using it. It allows me to do everything I need to do with the router without having to log in using the web based authentication. It also lets you trigger firmware updates from the app. The parental controls have a wide range of features/options that are all controllable via the app. It's the main reason I made this choice on the specific router. No complaints here.

★★★★★ Greg V · Mar 29, 2025

This is the best router management app I've used. Way better than Tether, by miles. I use this app for general management of our network utilizing a Synology RT6600 router. For parental controls this app is the best I've seen. Aside from giving you the ability to set multiple networks (depending on router model), you can set independent schedules and control the amount of Internet time by child, and see which devices are connected.

★☆☆☆☆ . · Sep 22, 2024

Now impossible to open. Will not open. Spyware. Abandonware. Functionally does very little and won't open your router interface unless you permit an external call to a remote Synology server. F-that.

★★☆☆☆ Jim Fowler · Apr 25, 2025

My primary use of the router is for parental controls. Safe Access needs work: When I open the app and tap on Safe Access, it won't display properly until I tap on Device List and then go back to Safe Access. When extending hours of use, it displays "rewarding," but doesn't show an updated cut-off time. You can't reward with temporary time quota extension, which is a critical feature. Instead, you have to manually edit the time quota for the day, and then change it back the next day.

★★☆☆☆ David Barker · Feb 8, 2024

Unlike with the web interface, the app is sorely lacking in features and capabilities. For example, try configuring DHCP settings or try changing the DNS settings. These settings are nowhere to be found in the App that I could locate. The app is good for looking to see what devices are connected to the router and for an overview of internet connectivity. A good app should allow one to edit virtually any of the router's settings that you can do via the web portal. This app is extremely lacking.
