I am not sure what it will do in that case.
I suggest you configure the NAS to use a completely different second port for https, and forward that in the actiontec (matching my approach, which I know works).
Mine in the US is set to port 5151. Just times out, as described, hile it's loading the frontview page. As a test I tried pointing it to the extplorer add-on, but the same thing happens - starts to load the page, and then times out. I've tried various other port permutations, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The tracerts show it timing out on the last 2 hops at the verizon end.
