Hi all, I upgraded my router recently to RAX80 and have a number of device connected,
I am running 2 PCs on WIN 10 1 can see the NAS RN214, I can see it it on the Wired connection but not on the wireless connection either on 5g or 2g. However i can connect using the ready cloud app where it give me not 192.xxx address but something like 55.xxx
I can still see other devices including wired devices and another NAS across the wirless pc and instantly see the NAS when i plug in the wire
I have turned off some of the feature on the RAX80 i was playing with like QOS.
The NAS is using a bonded ethernet connection into the aggregate port of Router,
So i am trying to identify where the issue is
Wirless PC network settings
NAS shared on Wireless
Router sharing requirements for wirless haring
Solved! Go to Solution.

"see"? "it"? "the wireless connection"?
As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results
(error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
Do you mean that a shared file system served from the RN214 does not
appear on your Windows system when that Windows system uses a wireless
connection to the router?
Does Windows consider that wireless connection to be "Private" (good)
or "Public" (bad)? Windows file sharing is normally inhibited over a
"Public" connection. (You don't normally want everyone at Starbucks to
have access to your files.)
> I can still see other devices [...]
"see"? "ping" and file sharing follow different rules.
> Wirless PC network settings
That's my first guess.
> NAS shared on Wireless
The NAS has no idea how your Windows system is connected to your
router.
> Router sharing requirements for wirless haring
The router has no interest in how your NAS communicates with anything
on your LAN, unless there's a "guest network" involved.
