Can't see DLNA server on ReadyNas102 after new router

I have used my ReadyNas as DLNA server for some years now, via a Linksys/Cisco EA6300 router and casting to tv/projector using Chromecast and All Connect app. All have worked just fine.
I received a new modem with build-in router from my ISP, and since it can cover nearly all of my house with WiFi, I decided to retire my EA6300. Since then the ReadyNas DLNA does not show up on the network. Do I have to do any magic to the new modem/router? It's a Technicolor CGA2121. I have tried different things, including activating UPNP. Any ports that needs to be opened?
I can access the ReadyNas just fine via Windows Explorer (running Win10), it's only the DLNA thing. The router has a DLNA option through a USB port, works fine when activated.
I don't have Plex or any other DLNA apps installed, ReadyDLNA has worked so far, so I'll stick to that. Latest firmware installed in NAS (6.9.3).

Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance

    Please excuse my dumb question, but did you check, that the DLNA service is currently running on the NAS.

     

    If not already done, it might also be a good idea to disable the DLNA service on the NAS, wait a few minutes and enable it again to see, whether anything changes, though.

     

    Other community members might have better ideas. Good look with fixing.
