Hello SieraZ,
This requires both PC and NAS to check, NAS: check Leafp2p process is running,DNS is setting "8.8.8.8 "; PC: check leaf network adapter whether to get IP. If not, I can help you see it.

I worked with Netgear support and we found that recreating a user account (and not using the main admin account) worked to resolve the issue. Still can't figure out why the original admin account doesn't work, but creating a new account with access to the share worked.
