How do I find my NAS WAN IP?
All 'what's my IP' sites display the external (WAN) IP of the LAN's router. Whilst you can find a WAN IP of a PC in settings easily enough, I don't know how to find it for my NAS.

- It doesn't have one.
You wouldn't want it to be directly exposed to the internet anyway.
Where are you finding the wan IP of your PC? - All your home devices go through your router/gateway, and all share the same external IPv4 address. So the address reported by http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and similar sites applies to your PCs, your NAS, your WiFi gadgets, etc.
The local addresses of all the devices is different. You can usually find the NAS local address using your router admin pages. The RAIDar utility will also find it.
Perhaps it would be better if you tell us what you are trying to do.
