Connecting Seagate NAS to Orbi RBR850 AX6000

Hello,
I recently installed an ORBI router in my home. It is connected to an AT&T modem. All of the wireless devices are connected fine. But I can't access the NAS device connected to the router's ethernet port. I can see in the Orbi console that the NAS is connected to the wired port.
My modem's IP is 192.168.0.1. My router is using a 10.x.x.x range and all my wireless devices are in the 10.x.x.x range. But my NAS device was assigned 192.168.0.11.

The AT&T is a modem/router combo. I disabled its WiFi and set it in passthrough mode, allowing traffic to the Orbi device.

 

Any ideas on what I need to do to access the NAS device from my computers connected over WiFi?

Thanks

It looks like your NAS is connected to your modem instead of your Orbi router, like:

  Modem --> Orbi --> devices

      \--> NAS

You should standardize on your Orbi so that all of your devices are on the same network, like:

  Modem --> Orbi --> devices

                           \--> NAS

The NAS should have the same type of IP addresses as your other devices, just the last number different (10.x.x.x range).

BTW, looks like your modem is also a router so you have two routers and Double NAT.  While this usually still works, it would be optimal if you put your modem into bridge mode with Orbi the only router (alternatively, put your Orbi into AP modem and only the modem as your router).  Doing this would also optimize/maximize your throughput via your ISP via something like speedtest.net app or website speed tests.
