RBR40 does not see connected WD MyCloud NAS
I used to have an Asus router and replaced it with an ORBI70 Mesh that my father-in-law gave me, which does not see the WD NAS that's connected to it. Where I used to be able to log into the Asu...
Thanks. The ORBI is an RBR40 and I've tried both the app and the web interface.
I cannot complete the install from that PDF. My NAS is a much older version of that device and those instructions don't apply to my device (beyond the physical connection) and I no longer have the Quick Install Guide which apparently has a Device Code that's necessary.
At the risk of losing everything, I'll try and find some instructions on the web for pulling HD out and accessing it directly.
Update:
Don't know what happened, because I didn't do anything, but suddenly I can see the device as connected via both the Orbi app and the web interface. I can see the NAS's IP address and it's correctly correlated to the MAC address ... but .... I cannot connect to the NAS via that IP address.
The router has assigned 192.168.1.3 to the NAS and when I try to go to that address with a browser, it never connects. No error code, no nothing, the browser just sits there contemplating its existence.

The connection does not "time out"?
So, that WD 'app' is not intended to work with this old NAS?
It hasn't timed out for as long as I've been patient enough to wait for it (about 10 mins).
Apparently, the app doesn't work with my old device (I followed a support link on their website that showed all the WD devices that work with that app and my device was not on that list).
