RAIDar sends out broadcast packets to discover the various NAS, and the NAS respond with their own broadcast packets. That allows RAIDar to find the NAS even if the IP configuration of the NAS is mismatched to the network. But internet security software and sometimes routers get in the way (blocking broadcast packets for various reasons).

The Macbook is on Wifi and one of the two Windows 10 laptops.
The other is wired ethernet.
