Synology’s router software is the quiet star here: Safe Access parental controls, Threat Prevention and a proper VPN server, all free. It’s the tinkerer-family crossover pick, IoT VLANs included.
In our testing the highlights were clear: safe Access parental controls are genuinely free and excellent; threat Prevention and VPN server included at no cost; real VLAN segmentation for IoT devices; 2.5 GbE port plus mesh support with a second unit.
It is not perfect — wiFi 6 dual-band only — no 6E or 7; stock fluctuates at US retailers. For most buyers in this category those trade-offs are easy to live with, but weigh them against your setup before you click buy.
