How is the feature set? Would this be as good as Untangle or Pfsense?

I would say designed for home, or small business users where Untangle / PFSense is more big business

About 3 weeks ago I swapped my Synology RT2600ac + 2x MR2200ac devices for a Netgate 6100 firewall and I’ve dusted off my 3x Meraki MR33 accesspoints which I still had lying around.
The Synology is a wonderful device, the same look and feel as their NAS software, just brilliant.
I wanted something else so I bought the Negate, just because I like to play withe different hardware.
To be honest the Synology firewall can do more and it can do less than PfSense, is’t not better or worse, it is just different. Synology does alot and more straight out of the box, it is limited to 5 vlans and it’s not as flexible (or professional) as PfSense, but you’d have to be very demanding if you’d out grow the Synology kit.

Ron, I’m thinking of using Netgate 4200 with a Synology Router Mesh (2 RT6600ax and a RT2600ac), I have 2 Synology NAS.
Did you try using the Synology Routers in Access Point mode with pfsense? If so were you able to use VLANs with the Synology Routers in AP mode?
Thanks
I didn’t try that specific setup, but as long as you stick to the same vlans assigned to the SSIDs you should be fine.
thanks for the help
