I don't think so.  Are your media players and the NAS both connected to the switch?

    Yes. Everything is connected to the switch. Nothing is directly connected to my router

      Try playing a movie, and then disconnect the cable between the router and the switch.  Check if the movie continues to play or if it drops.

        Hi, sorry for the late reply. Work keeps getting in the way.

         

        Yes, Watching a movie and pulling the router from the switch causes a loss of connection to the nas.
