You can manually update your Synology NAS by downloading the .PAT file from the official Synology download website. What is a .PAT file? It’s a system file extension used by DiskStation Manager (DSM), the operating system used for Synology NAS devices; it contains the files required to install or update the low-level operating system software that runs the device; it can be used from the DSM Control Panel by choosing “Update & Restore” and then the “DSM Update” option.

Log into your DSM, then go to Control Panel / Update & Restore / DSM Update / Manual DSM Update. Follow the instructions in the image below:

The actual update began within a few seconds and lasted about 30 seconds.
