Experienced users prefer that to the automated process.
It means that they don't rely in a possibly flaky Internet connection to make it happen.
Whatever you do, make a backup copy of your current configuration.
I am not trying to discourage you from learning how to roll back your router firmware and do so properly (i.e. with a web browser and a computer connected via Ethernet to your router). But, rolling back your router firmware will do nothing to correct or restore your windows settings so you can access your NAS files.
You were right about rolling back the firmware, it didn't solve the problem so I updated to the newest version again. I've tried everything the internet offered for a fix and still cant access my NAS. I can successfully ping the router and I tried accessing it using it's ip address under Map Network Drive but it returns a Network Error "Windows cannot access". Clicking on Diagnose shows the message Details: "The device or resource (LS-WTGL7AF) is not set up to accept connections on port "The Fire and printer sharing (SMB)" I've triple checked and ALL the SMB boxes are checked. Any other suggestions?

I do not think you meant "router" above. Most likely NAS box.
So far everything is pointing to a configuration problem with your NAS box. Have you checked for firmware updates for your NAS?
