Known Issues & Limitations

  1. Google Cloud Print will not be available on SRM 1.2.5 and above.
  2. SRM 1.2 will be the last upgradable version for RT1900ac. RT1900ac will continue to receive critical and security updates until further notice.

On top of this, Today we got an update for the VPN Plus and Safe Access packages. VPN pacakge has "up to 47% increase in SSL VPN performance" according to Synology, while Safe Access has gotten a new feature, backup & restore. In case you want to migrate from one router to the other, you can now backup and restore your SA configuration.

New Safe Access feature, Backup & Restore (v1.2.4-0244)

Finally, do make a note that if you are running RT1900AC router (from 2015) this will be the final feature update for this model. I myself do have one still around and it just finished updating without any problems.

RT1900AC updated without any problems

My main 2600+2200 mesh will be updated later today. Hopefully that will also be as painless as this.
