Readynas 314 affects WiFi when connected to router
Spoiler
Hi,
whenever I connect my readynas via Ethernet to my router (model of router dosent matter, I’ve tried 3 including buying a nighthawk) it totally screws up my internet connections. Any ideas what could be the reason? The minute I disconnect everything is fine. I’m going mad trying to find the cause....

What network settings are you using in the NAS? DHCP? Or have you tried to configure a static IP address?
Also, your title suggests the issue is with WiFi connections, but the body of your post says "internet connections". Which is it?
Can you get into the admin web ui of the NAS with the NAS connected to the router?

Both internet and wifi drop out.
Had the ReadyNas Static on IPv4 and DHCP on IPv6.... Changed them both to DHCP but still same issue....
Yes, can connect to the NAS ui

Try disabling IPv6 in the NAS next.
What apps and services are you running (including any cloud apps)?
