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.

Could you please add the ability to manually control my Smart LAN failover (WAN to LAN1) settings from the app? I find it valuable to be able to switch connections when my primary gets flaky and it would be amazing if I could do it from the App.

Very good app for remote managing Synology router. Nice layouts and easy to find options. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that on the rt6600 router if you change the ports from 8000 or 8001 to something else then the app fails to connect to ddns name or ip of router. Seems spp is solidified with using only 8000 or https 8001 only?
