Just a thought: is the static IP set up on the NAS within the router DHCP "pool" of IP addresses? When there is a power outage and devices power up and do DHCP requests, routers respond in the order that DHCP requests arrive. There is nothing inherently wrong with using static IPs. Personally, I prefer to do that in the router LAN Setup IP Assignment table so that I don't have to keep track of which IPs have been "used" by which device.
Are there any switches in the network?
It is, I let it get the IP when I first set it up on the network and just made it static after. I will try shortening the range by 5 and setting it up outside the range and see.
