Orbi firmware update blocks https
Just updated to firmware V3.2.15.25_1.3.15 last night, and now I can't just type https://192.168.1.xxx to access my NAS. The laptop is wired and the NAS is wired, but the Orbi is my DHCP router. ...
Check the IP address of the NAS on the RBR. IP addess may have changed.
Reboot the NAS.
What is brand name/model of NAS?
Is that NAS set to a static IP? If not, you might want to consider that.
Most NAS' also require a specific port forwarded... are you putting that port into the IP address? (e.g. 192.168.1.14:5000)
We're in the 21st century, and e.g. Windows 10 can easily use the WS-Discovery based name resolution (and even NetBIOS name resolution if enabled for legacy NAS systems) to find the NAS based on it's name on the network, so eg. https://nasname/ does the job.

Alternate, or in addition, the OP might consider adding an Address Reservation so the same NAS interface does get (based on it's MAC address) the same IP address assigned from the Orbi AX router.
Port forwarding is only required for access from the Internet/WAN side.

Thanks for the calendar check & reminder (</sarcasm>).... responses like this keep people from collaborating and/or offering suggestions -- even if you dont think they are as up to speed as you on the century.
