I've tried going through NetGear's ReadyCLOUD but it can't detect either box despite being directly plugged into my router.
ReadyCloud only works with OS-6 NAS - not with your legacy NAS.

As far as I can tell I have everything set up right for them in the FrontView webpage, but I'm clearly missing something.
One thing is that with Windows 10 you need to go into "turn windows features on or off" and enable the SMB 1/CIFS client on the PC.
Your path in Windows Explorer looks incorrect. Try entering \\nas-ip-address into the address bar - being careful to use the correct slash direction. Of course use the real NAS IP address.
