After upgrading my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) to macOS High Sierra (10.13) the ReadyNAS no longer appears in the Finder. I'm able to connect to it fine by IP addresswith SMB and I was able...

Hello gonzonia,
I have not seen other post similar to this problem you are encountering, meaning if this is an issue with the NAS other community members would have reported the same concern. For a guide to access the NAS via AFP please go here.

I am not a ReadyNAS user but this EXACT same thing happened to me on my Nighthawk X6S router where I had an external USB drive attached as my TimeMachine backup point. Since upgrading to HighSierra on my MacBook Pro, the Mac no longer sees the drive on the router.

Marty_M, relying on other community users who may be (and in most cases probably are not) using a beta version of the NAS firmware with the most recent version of Apple's OS and Time Machine to let you know if there is a problem with your product is not an effective way to test your software and blowing off the first one to report it is even worse.

Sorry for the confusion, what I do mean is that this might be an isolated issue might be a problem on the NAS or might be cause by something else. The next best option would be to isolate the problem, as mentioned on your last reply the exact same problem occur after upgrading the firmware of your nighthawk router. The router and the NAS are different hardware devices and have their own respective firmware.

Sorry I misread and thought that was one of your update however through finder you can access the NAS via ip address and hostname. There is a possibility just took time for the MAC computer to detect and resolve the hostname.

I've found even for detecting other Mac computers, Apple's discovery of devices on the network can be a bit hit and miss at times.
