Cannot see Synology NAS on LAN after installing Orbi through Frontier Fios router
I have set up Orbi in AP mode, connected to my Frontier Fios modem/router. Have disabled wireless on the Fios router. New Orbi network working fine. I can see my NAS in my mac's (network) finder wind...
Thanks for the quick reply! NAS is attached to the Orbi.
I did set the Orbi to AP rather than router. I also disabled wireless on the Fios router. Is there something else I'm missing?
Appreciate the help!
If the Synology web assistant is now working correctly and nothing got broken, you can mark the post "Solved".
Most of us tend to assign specific IP addresses to things like printers, NAS, and other items that are relatively permanent. If you have not done that already, it has to be done on the router that assigns IP addresses via DHCP, which means the FIOS.
Sorry to be unclear...problem still unresolved. Web assistant still cannot see Nas on the LAN.
...and having downloaded Synology assistant (desktop utility) my NAS still cannot be seen on the LAN...so still unable to aceess DSM, Plex etc.

So there is obviously a problem related to your NAS. Wrong forum now - head to Synology support or challenge the Synology community. Plex can in general be discovered and connected from the Plex TV cloud, or from Plex Apps on the same [W]LAN.
Plenty of other better, more secure processes available to discover the Syno NAS on your LAN using a Mac, Windows and some Linux/DEB platform than using the (insecure, non-https!) http://find.synology.com/ . I've offered you alternate and much better solutions to discover the NAS on your LAN, without going over the Internet. I'm neither Synology nor Netgear employee or contractor and won't go and do reverse engineering of Syno's Web based discovery using their cloud infrastructure. Challenge Synology support or community what might break this...
