Synology

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice on improving remote access speeds to my Synology NAS 220+. It’s set up at my home, and I’m trying to connect to it from outside with good speed. However, I don’t have a static IP, so direct connection isn’t an option. I’ve explored several solutions...

Hi guys. I have a Synology DS918+ that uses USB3.0 2.5G nic with modified driver. Recently I have realized that Synology starts to support smb3.0 muti-channel officially, thus I had a try. In conclusion, I would say that it worked, yet not as good as I expected. Here is the details: My Ds918+...

Greetings and thank you in advance for reading 🤗. I am using a synology NAS and have it mounted as a network share and it works great for the most part. Except every time I power on my computer it asks for credentials. I tried the “remember me” option in the credentials box but that seems to do...

My NAS used to work great but then the other night the power went out and now the NAS is not discoverable on 5Gig wifi, and when I switch it is discoverable but goes ridiculously slow. How do I reverse whatever problem happened?
