Accessing Netgear NAS under a different subnet

If the source up is 192.128.1.110 port 445

What about the destination ip? Is this the pc ip or router 2 ip? Port 445?

As I said, you are forwarding to a specific PC.  

Each packet sent by the NAS to the 192.128.5.x subnet will have a destination IP address of 192.168.1.115 (Router 2's WAN address), and SMB traffic will have a destination port of 445.

You need to tell router 2 what 192.168.5.x address those packets need to be routed to, because it has no way to figure that out on its own.

I can turn off Nat in router 2

Frankly, that's a much simpler approach, and it would allow any PC to reach the NAS (and vice versa) without any port forwarding.

You would still need to figure out how to manage the remote device access when you get to the VPN.  But since you haven't told us what you are trying to accomplish with the VPN, I don't think we can help much on that.  Likely this isn't the right forum for it anyway.

Personally I'd just use one local subnet, and depend on ReadyNAS security features and VPN access control.  My own VPN is just intended for me (and immediate family) to access my home network when away.  OpenVPN is built into my main router, and I just use that.
