I did a factory reset (I have a recent back-up). On the display a see 82.176.27.166 but Raidar can not find it. I have a deco mesh system.

I am using 5.3 I'm much further along. I can get into the NAS. I still have a problem with the test email. I chose the same username and password for Mozilla as for gmail. With test message I get the message "Failed to send test email message" Also with a yahoo email address I get the same error message. For administrator password I kept password. Can I enter it with admin/password after closing?

I can see the NAS on all my windows computers. I just can't copy anything from my hard drive to NAS. I just changed the name of the workgroup and access type is local users. Shares have everyone listed as read/write

Best to change it to something else.
Either way, you can set up the browser to automatically apply the password. Also, you can set up Windows to do the same with the Windows Credential Manager.

Likely you are using "Guest" access on the PCs, and are not using the NAS credentials. By default Windows presents your PC logon to the NAS. If there is no NAS account with that user name, you end up with guest access.
While you can use "admin" as the user name for the NAS, generally it is better to create a user account on the NAS, and use that instead.
