Hi
Just to make sure, at the moment my DNS servers are showing 172.16.0.254 (see image below), is that the IP address you what me to change to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, and will the NAS need a reboot for the changes to take affect.

He wants you to delete the 172.16.0.254 DNS server, and add the other two (which are public DNS servers run by Google btw).
Leave the "Configure:" dropdown as "Using DHCP".
Although JohnCM_S didn't suggest it, you might also want to disable ipv6 on the other tab.
You shouldn't need to reboot, but on the other hand it does no harm either.
