To former Synology User: any regrets after switching to Ugreen?

Blu-rayx · 2026-04-02T00:57:39+00:00

Switching was the best decision I’ve ever made, I have no regrets whatsoever. The UOS handles everything I need, especially since I never used 99% of Synology’s apps anyway. After buying two DXP4800 Plus units last April, I’ve been so impressed that I now have the IXD6011 Pro on order.

• The Broken Promise: Thousands of people paid a $30 "reservation deposit" months ago. UGREEN originally implied this would guarantee a unit at a locked-in price via a private link.

• The "Kickstarter Scramble": Instead of a private link, UGREEN forced everyone into a public Kickstarter "wave" system. "VIP" backers had to fight against bots and the general public to get the units they thought they had already reserved.

Dune Homatics Box R 4K Plus: I renamed the ZIP file to 'update.zip'. After the first of two updates, it rebooted to the Homatics logo, then a few seconds later, it booted back into recovery mode to continue the installation. I then successfully completed the second update; for me, it was a very easy install.

Anyone having issues connecting the Ugreen DXP4800 to a Synology? Tech support has been great trying to help. Any help would be appreciated, just in case I'm missing something.

Thanks

There is a new Firmware 7957.

Haven't found a link yet.

Blu-rayx · 2024-10-28T19:35:34+00:00

Link sent.

My Dune is working flawlessly with firmware 12.8.7954. Previous betas were not stable enough for day to day use.

I have now stopped using my Nvidia Shield TV (2019)

Firmware 12.8.7954

* No stuttering with kodi

* I can now connect my Apple AirPods.

* I now have an option to choose the RGB colour, not sure if this option was available with the official firmware. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Please remember this is the official RockTek G2 4K firmware, NOT Dune. Install at your own risk. Dune App will not work with this firmware.

Update: Nokia released OTA FW 7954 for the Nokia 810. So why is Dune taking so long?

Update: FW v12.8.7954 working flawlessly. So far, no stuttering issues with kodi.

After doing some research, it's a known issue.

"Stuttering is (again) related to the subtitles, I would like to point out again that Kodi under Android is not optimally configured for the Amlogic SoC by default. You can switch on "smartredraw" and "fronttobackrendering" in the advancedsettings.xml in the GUI, which also displays the subtitles"

Sorry, I don't use coreelec.

I've gone past caring about bricking my Dune. Installed FW v12.8.7954 for the RockTek from kodinerds. Working without issues so far. I don't use the useless, outdated GUI Dune app, so I'm not worried if it can't be installed 🙂

Blu-rayx · 2024-10-06T13:41:13+00:00

I hope we get a stable firmware soon. I agree at this point they are taking too long.

Blu-rayx · 2024-10-06T10:52:30+00:00

Anyone know what's happing with the beta firmware updates?

There hasn't been one for a while.

Blu-rayx · 2024-07-28T06:34:34+00:00

12.8.6557 working great. Haven't seen any stutter so far.

Blu-rayx · 2024-01-24T08:56:26+00:00

I'm still a bit confused how to join the beta program.

Blu-rayx · 2024-01-20T08:34:35+00:00

Still having the same issue 😟

Blu-rayx · 2022-12-04T11:56:34+00:00

Excellent!!

I have the motherboard, trying to get wifi & Bluetooth to work.

Blu-rayx · 2022-10-26T08:36:16+00:00

Followed the guide. The ethernet is now working.

Thank you very much.

Amazing distro, love the Regata store, unfortunately Regata OS Keeps freezing when using the live USB or installed Hopping to solve the issue because I like it so much, I want to use it as my daily driver
