No connection with NAS in the ethernet port of a PC. Huawei 5172 seems to be the only way so far. Could it be any settings in Windows 10 that crucial for the connectio to function ?
The LED link light is physical-layer (e.g, electrical), so it is not related to Windows 10. Plus the issue is happening with three different devices - a switch, a router, and the PC.
While I don't know why the Huawei is working, I am thinking that it could also fail at any time.
So I suggest connecting up the Huawei again, and backing up the data on the NAS. Then I recommend replacing it (a ReadyNAS RN 212 would be the currently shipping equivalent).
That also will boost your performance by 4-5x, and give you SMBv3 support. The SMBv1 protocol that your Duo is using is no longer considered secure, and Microsoft is taking steps to remove it. Though that's not your current problem, it is becoming an issue.
