I'll check and work on putting the WNDR4700 in AP mode and see how it goes.
That should work.
You have everything else set up as expected.

Thankyou michaelkenward for taking time in reading through my situation and giving suggestions.
Yes there is a Hitron modem which is just a modem. One port of Eero is plugged into Hitron modem. second port of Eero is plugged into WNDR4700 ethernet port. The laptop is connected to the ethernet port on WNDR4700, not to Eero.
The wifi on WNDR4700 is turned off.
I'll check and work on putting the WNDR4700 in AP mode and see how it goes.

michaelkenward the solution to put the router into AP mode worked. Now I am able to connect the router to my new network and all devices are able to see the Readyshare NAS. I also found that any external USB drives connected to the Centria USB ports are also visible on the network. This is working more than expected.
Apologies for the late reply as I was out of town. Thanks.
