Hi Gray_Cambs,
Welcome to the community! :)
Since you mentioned that you are able to access the router and still see the NAS connected to it, kindly try the following steps:
1. Connect your computer directly to the BT wireless router using an ethernet cable. Turn off the wireless capability of your computer for the meantime to test the wired connection in order to isolate the problem.
2. Check if you will be able to get replies when you ping the IP address of your ReadyNAS Duo. If ever you are able to get replies from your ReadyNAS Duo, check if you can still access the files stored in it.
3. If ever still the same problem after doing steps 1 & 2, use another computer and repeat the steps above.
As reference on how to ping on MAC OS, kindly access and read the article below:
What is the current firmware version of your ReadyNAs Duo?
Do you have a back up of the data stored in your ReadyNAS Duo?
