ORBI with QNAP
My new Orbi RBR350 pack arrived today and have been installing it and updating to the latest firmware etc. Everything working now except I cant access my QNAP NAS. It shows up in the app with an Orbi...

Follow CrimpOn's advice. He knows more than most here.
The Orbi must be assigning 10.0.0.x IP addresses to other devices on your LAN. So why the other devices are reachable while the Qnap is not? I have no idea. How are you getting to (or will you get to) the Qnap's UI to look at or change settings if you can't reach it from your PC?
You could ask in the Qnap forum. People there are very helpful too.

If I plug the NAS into the Plusnet router (rather than the Orbi) and connect wireless/wired direct to the Plusnet then I can access it without any problem via the web interface as I normaly do. My concern is if I fiddle around with fixed IP addresses I might lock myself out. However the NAS has two network ports which can be configured independantly so I could PROBABLY just plug in to the other port and be OK - just to nervous to try!!!!
QNAP forum might be the way to go....

What does the NAS web interface show about the network configuration when it is connect to the Plusnet router?
