Doubtful that it would be a Netgear bug, I went down the path of starting from scratch with the network connectivity. The issue (please don't kill me) is that I had the Synology server connected (via ethernet) to both the 192.168.3.x and 192.168.10.x networks (multiple ethernet ports in the Synology). Once I disconnected the 192.168.3.x ethernet, everything worked as expected. 

     

    Thanks for your help! Apologies if this is a rookie mistake...
