Hi Good folks.
I have a NAS Drive connected by Ethernet to my ADSL router and have mapped a drive successfully on my laptop with a wireless link to the old router, through said router to specific folders on the NAS Drive.
Here's the issue:
I have just moved over to FTTC and received a new Hub One and transferred all Ethernet Cables to the new router.
All is working fine....expect that I can no longer reach my mapped files through the new PlusNet Hub One.
I can power up the old router and reconnect the NAS ethernet and I can reach the desired files no problem (after selecting the appropriate wireless network obviously).
Reconnecting the NAS Ethernet to the new Hub One and the files are unreachable.
I have spoken to PlusNet Tech Support and they have no clue whatsoever.
Can anyone here explain why I can:
a) no longer reach my old mapped drive files
b) not able to map a new drive to the NAS drive as the laptop is unable to see the NAS via the Hub One, even though it can see it as a device on the list of Ethernet Connected devices.
Hope someone can help....TIA
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Check the ip network. One router maybe 192.168.0 and the other 192.168.1
If the NAS has a fixed ip then the old router will see it but not the new one.

Thanks but the NAS folders are not mapped on the laptop using IP address, it/they are mapped using \\Server\share
IP addresses do not come into it.

Not the folders, the device. The NAS must have an IP address either assigned manually or automatic through DHCP. Connect router that can see the NAS and ping ‘server name’ this will give you the IP address. Compare the first three blocks of numbers with those on both routers.

Just to be clear, are you saying that if you use a computer to access your router’s network devices page you can see that the NAS drive has been allocated or has a fixed IP address in the 192.168.1.1-253 range?

Thanks for the tips, which I'll kep for future ref.
The problem was resolved simply by removing the latest W10 update and a couple of reboots.
I can relax now...Thanks everyone.

What sort of NAS is it ?
If relatively recent access shouldn't have been broken by Windows updates.
Having said that, I've found fixed IP addresses for NAS type devices more reliable.
I've some old LAN Disks which only support the original (insecure) SMB and now don't work with Windows but I've retired them.

@HolyMoley IP Addresses do come in to it as Server has to point to an IP address on your LAN. Also, it may be that due to the fact that you're using a Hub One your Synology doesn't care for the version of SMB supported by the Hub One which if memory serves right is v1.
On my Synology (a RS815+) the minimum version of SMB support I have is v2.

I guess it must be down to the hardware then. My one is a rack mount (with an RX418 expansion), that’s all I can think of.

Looking at your pic what are the minimum options ?
i have 1 2 & 3 which gives max 1, 2 & 3. Selecting min 2 gives max option 2 & 3
it would be interesting to see what settings @HolyMoley has on his/her box.
