Perfectly fine.

These Web Assistant type things depend on the NAS being able to establish a connection to the NAS vendor cloud, and try to create a correlation between the public IP address, the NAS LAN IP, ... Primary usage is the initial installation IMHO. No idea what makes it fail here however.
The better solution to find the Syno NAS on the LAN would be using Bonjour (visible in the Safari Bonjour bookmarks) or the Synology Assistant (available for Windows, MacOS, 32- and 64-bit Ubuntu (.deb)) "Synology Assistant is a desktop utility that searches for Synology DiskStations in the local area network. It helps you set up and install DSM on your DiskStation, connect to network or multi-functional printers shared by your DiskStation, setup Wake on LAN (WOL), or view monitored resources of your DiskStation." - check the Synology downloads for your NAS model. On Windows it can become visble in Explorer as a Storage Device (by UPnP discovery) - no crappy tools required.
