Common problems
Start from the symptom
Synology Router Can't Connect New Devices
When your Synology router rejects new phones, laptops, or smart home devices while existing gear stays connected, SRM security rules or DHCP limits are usually to blame. Here is how to audit your router settings and get new devices online.
Synology Router Intermittent Disconnects
When your Synology router repeatedly drops connections mid-call, SRM settings or high-frequency band instability are usually behind the issue. Here is how to stabilize your Wi-Fi fast.
Synology Router No WAN / Internet Light
When your Synology router's WAN light stays off or amber, it cannot communicate with your modem. Here is how to fix handshake drops, cable quirks, and SRM WAN port settings.
Synology Router HDMI Not Working
If your HDMI-over-IP extender or network media stream is dropping out on your Synology router, SRM settings or VLAN port isolation are usually to blame. Here is how to fix network video pass-through and connection drops fast.
Synology Router No Picture But Has Sound
If your video stream loses picture while audio keeps playing through your Synology router network, the issue is usually caused by network packet drops, IGMP snooping misconfigurations, or aggressive SRM QoS throttling.
Synology Router Won't Turn On
If your Synology router has suddenly gone completely dark, don't panic. A dead unit is frequently caused by a toggled rear switch, a failed power adapter, or a halted SRM boot process rather than a destroyed motherboard.
