Wenda is a Synology Diskstation DS218J
Wenda is a NAS, so, I store files on it.
DSM version 7.2.2
MAC address: 00:11:32:a2:03:43

Services
- DHCP Server
- Synology Drive
- Photo Station and Moments.
Printing
Brother HL-L2320D laser printer is on a USB port and shows up as "usbprinter1". I did not have to do anything at all here other than plug it in.
Windows
The way to get printing working on Windows was to install Synology Assistant and then let it locate Wenda and the printer. I downloaded and installed the Brother drivers first.
Mac
Finds it over Bonjour. Select the printer driver manually.
Linux Mint
I don't remember doing anything special, it just showed up when I looked for printers. Probably Bonjour.
Set up
DDNS
To add Cloudflare as a DDNS provider, see https://github.com/mrikirill/SynologyDDNSCloudflareMultidomain
Wenda Control Panel->External Access->DDNS will feed the IP address directly into the Cloudflare database, so that external lookups will resolve to our home IP address.
The ERX router has to forward traffic for ports 5000,5001,6690 to Wenda.
Let's Encrypt
Control Panel -> Security -> Certificate
The only way I could see to make this work is via HTTP-01 which means port 80 needs to be open and point to Wenda
DNS-01 won't work because I use my own domain name, not wildsong.synology.me
