Welcome to the forums, adrian, and I'm sorry for the trouble this is causing! We've had a few folks with a similar network setup request either/or longer delay before trying the first sync, or a shorter delay between the first failure and a second attempt. (Just to generally handle this better, in other words.)

If you email the support ninjas, they can attach you to that feature request - we give the most-requested changes the highest priority, all other things being equal.
