Router

[Enquiries]

I have a Synology DS420+ and am trying to set-up remote file access on a Mac using finder without success. I am beginning to question if it is possible with the Amplifi HD router I have. Do you have any suggestions or a recommendation for a new router? Thanks.

Thank you for your support, this helps us a lot.
The easiest way to connect and access you files is using Quickconnect in combination with Drive app

Otherwise, you need to make sure your broadband provider and a router allow port forwarding. This would open ports to allow connection from outside the local network.
In order to access files via Finder remotely, you will need VPN and open ports. https://kb.synology.com/en-af/DSM/help/V...?version=7

I hope this helps.
