NVX Internet Access
When clicking on 'Check for updates' there is no response. ElephantDrive (who host Vault) want to confirm an Internet connection. I attempted to use old BitTorrent add-on as a test but no activity. I...
Maybe as a test, delete all those servers and try only 8.8.8.8.
I can confirm that DNS is not the issue as I noticed on Network > Interfaces > Default gateway that the field was blank, at which point I entered my new router's IP and my NAS began to backup to Vault immediately. Checking for updates also works fine, as does NTP.
Could a new router cause any config changes on the NAS?
After a couple of days of continuous backup, excluding going on standby as I have it set, when it booted to perform its weekly file system check and RAID scrub, rather than generate the automated e-mails I'm used to receiving (although I realised I haven't done so since setting up my new router, which must be due to the gateway setting), I received a Google e-mail stating they had blocked a sign-in attempt from what they refer to as a less secure app, and stating they will continue to do so unless I enable a setting allowing access to less secure apps.
Is this something I have to do or has the e-mail been generated due to configuration conflict, currently preventing the NAS from sending e-mail? This has also caused the backup to cease.

It sounds like you were using a static address on the NAS before. If so, the router has nothing to do with it.
A better approach is to reserve the IP address in the router, and configure the NAS to use dhcp.

It is something you have to do, and it is not new. In order to work with your primary gmail account you need to turn off two-factor authentication and enable less secure apps in your google security settings.
To clarify - the apps are "less secure" only because they know your gmail credentials. It is possible to create app-specific credentials in your google account, and use those instead.
