If there is a setting for GRO you should certainly start by disabling it.
Why not use standard IEEE standard LACP/LAG? - your switch supports it. That would almost certainly work around the problem since it is strictly layer-2, and would give you all the teaming benefits of ALB. I believe the GS116E has a web interface to configure this (my GS724T does), there is also a configuration utility you can download from netgear.com.
If for some reason you are determined to use ALB, if you are using dhcp (normally or with address reservation) for the NAS you might try switching to a static address. ALB messes with ARP, and that conceivably could be confusing the asus dhcp (esp. if you are using address reservation).
