Mac User is able to connect to NAS, but gets disconnected from NAS
A macOS Big Sur user is able to connect to ReadyNAS 626X with AFP protocol, but user will get disconnected sporadically, and will have to login.
What settings, options, etc. can I try on the NAS?
What settings, options, etc. can I try on the Mac?
All other mac users and Windows users (with SMB) can connect, and stayed connected.

The user with issue is running macOS 12 Monterey, not Big Sur.

Additional note:
The Mac OS 12.6 (Monterey) user looses the connection to the NAS after waking the computer from sleep. Obviously changing sleep settings would help, but is there any other mac settings to look into?
