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?

My netgear router is the DHCP server and providing wifi access. There is an ethernet cable from the router to an 8 port netgear switch and from there ethernet to the NAS.
