The Synology Router Manager is a desktop-like interface and it provides an intuitive way to manage the Synology RT1900ac. Compared to other routers (from other vendors), the user interface is refreshing and potentially a game changer. Applications or new capabilities can be added to the router via the included Package Center effortlessly.
