    In the admin page, go to  Network then click the gear icon of the active ETH then click Settings. Under IPv4, you will see DNS servers, add 8.8.8.8.

     

    You can also enter the DNS servers that you see on your PCs (for instance: open CMD in a windows system and then type ipconfig /all

  • Do you have a static IP address configured on the NAS?

     

    If so, you likely forgot to configure the DNS servers.

      Hi

       

      Thanks for your reply. if you mean on the network settings of my hub, yes ive set the nas drive to be static ip. How would I configure the settings?

    Hello sparkylx,

     

    In the admin page, go to  Network then click the gear icon of the active ETH then click Settings. Under IPv4, you will see DNS servers, add 8.8.8.8.
