Interactivity with Smart Devices
Android and iOS Applications
You can also use some of the router’s features through your smartphone. Synology thus far offers five interesting applications for both popular operating systems (for mobile phones), Android, and iOS.
DS router
DS router allows you to manage your network with just a few taps whenever you want, wherever you go. Easily set up brand-new Synology routers, monitor live traffic, and protect the internet activities of young persons with the comprehensive feature set of DS router.
DS get
With DS get, you can directly manage your downloads from anywhere with an Android device over your Synology device. In addition to viewing your Download Station status, individual task information, and controlling key settings, such as download schedules, DS get has a browser built-in to start downloads conveniently and integrates with Chrome. You can even use keywords to search for content, just like in Download Station.
DS file
Use DS file to manage files stored on your router. Upload or download files on the router or an iOS/Android device, or complete basic editing tasks with HTTPS support. While file management is its prerogative, DS file is also a useful tool for browsing through pictures, watching videos, or checking on work-related documents while on the go.
VPN Plus
VPN Plus gives easy access to the internet and local network resources via the Synology SSL VPN service powered by the Synology router. This mobile application provides fast connection speeds, enhanced security, and better capacity to pass through firewalls.
