Be sure the networking on the NAS is set for auto obtain IP addressing. Check with the mfr of this NAS box for help and support regarding this. Possible a reset on the NAS maybe needed. Check first.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the router and NAS box.
Power OFF the NAX and router for 30 seconds then back ON with the router then NAS. NAS should appear getting an IP address on the routers web page.

I'm looking directly in the router firmware (via 192.168.1.1) and also on the Nighthawk app.
Firmware version V1.0.7.6_1.1.99
Modem is a Netgear CM1000. It only has one LAN port which is used to connect the wifi router. I have plugged the NAS into the WiFI router as it has a bank on LAN ports.
I hope this helps.

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
