One common error with static IP addresses is that people forget to configure a DNS server. So look for that. You can use a public one ( google is 8.8.8.8; cloudflare is 1.1.1.1 ). Normally it's good to configure two.
FWIW, I generally recommend that people reserve IP addresses in their router instead of using static addresses - that makes it easier later on if you decide to change to a new router that uses a different subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.x ).

Thank you.
I tried both cases, fixed IP and DHCP.
And added 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.
I got the same results.

Try clearing the search domain field (which is set incorrectly, but might not be the problem), and then reboot the NAS.
You can also try testing DNS by disabling and then re-enabling "synchronize time with an internet server", and look for NTP errors in the log. You'll find that on the main system->overview page (click on the settings wheel next to device time).
