Unable to access Readynas Duo over wifi
I have a readynas duo for a number of years and its never given any problems. I recently changed my router to a netgear nighthawk and whilst i can connect to the readynas over ethernet, none of my wifi devices can. Pulling my hair out here!

Assuming Windows, it sounds like you forgot to tell Windows Firewall that your new home network is a trusted one. That, or the same with an anti-virus program (though most of them act the same for wired and wireless).
Thanks. Not sure how to do that but will google it. Non windows devices are also not connecting e.g. amazon fire stick. I have an ethernet connected fire tv box and its able to connect but not the wifi stick.

That sounds like you might be accidently double-routing.
Can you describe your network? Are you using your router to provide WiFi, or are you using a different device? Are your ethernet devices connected to a switch, or are they connected to your router?
