Actually static address already was set at NAS before (it was local network) and after i remove it and let NAS get it from DHCP server i was stuck with this problem. So short answer is NO, never been able to get address from DHCP.
I have already downloaded and install add-on but didn't know it's "toggle" add-on as i was searching it under installed add-on, so you are saying i just need to install it and ssh will be enabled?

Correct.

Is there anything unusual about your router setup? Are you using encrypted DHCP or do you perhaps have more than 2 DHCP servers set up in the router?

Thanks, i'll try installing add-on once again, and will try to set IP through ssh, hopefully i could enter with root access.
No, i don't have encrypted DHCP or 2 DHCP servers either.

I should have said DNS on this, not DHCP.

I don't have encrypted DNS either, but my main problem is that i'm unable to set static IP address different from default one since NAS will be on LAN.
