I have the Synology 2600ac router. Both Macs are running El Capitan. I use Back to My Mac to access my Mac at home. Both computers are on a wired connection. BTMM is very slow and there is a lot of delays. Most of the time, I give up because it is painfully slow. Once I see my desktop, I STILL can't click on anything or do anything. Most of the time, I will get the "reconnecting" message. At that point, I just give up.
BTMM uses NAT-PMP and UPnP for it to successfully work and this allows my Mac to automatically forward the ports it requires for connectivity. I do have NAT and UPnP enabled on the router but I am not sure if I have to manually enter any ports. I don't think this router supports PMP automatically. I am not sure what port numbers are needed to be added so BTMM can work without any delays or slowness.
Again, i would like to use BTMM since it is free and I am connecting from one Mac to another Mac. I have read through the "TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software" article. There is many entries referring to BTMM and port numbers. I am not sure which port numbers are important to reducing the slowness and reliability.
