Firmware update: Router Management 1.2 build 7742-2

Synology released version 1.2 of Router Management not too long ago and two minor updates with bug fixes have already been released. SRM is the firmware that runs on Synology’s routers and is in a sense similar to Disk Station Manager, the firmware for the same company’s NAS. These devices deliver excellent performance, have extensive options and are easy to operate via a clear web interface. Version 1.2 adds support for the MR2200ac, Synology’s first mesh router, among other things. The complete release notes can be found below.
