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 e...

Try resetting your NAS's network so it asks for a new IP address (from the Orbi). It might have kept an address when it was previously attached to your gateway/modem? Once your NAS has a 10.x.x.x IP address then it should be accessible via your Orbi network devices.

This is what is confusing me. Your NAS, if connected to your Orbi, should not have a 192.168.0.x address if your Orbi is giving out 10.x.x.x addresses to its wireless devices.
- Is your Orbi running in Router mode or AP mode?
- How does your NAS device get its IP address, e.g., is it from DHCP via the Orbi? If it was set statically, pick an IP address from the range given out by your Orbi.
- Your NAS is only accessed internally, not externally via your home right?

I agree. It’s confiding to me, too.
I think my router is running in router mode, or at least it’s running in the default mode. I haven’t changed anything.
Regarding DHCP, I have it set (by default) to assign with DHCP, but I don’t see any differentiation between Wi-Fi and wired.
My NAS in only accessible from my home network.

I changed the Orbi from Router Mode to AP Mode.
And reset the modem because I had set to a manual IP Address that was in a different subnet than the modem/orbi.- FURRYe38Oct 01, 2020Guru - Experienced User
