  1. Can't access NAS without internet


    My access to my Synology NAS is not working anymore since I have moved. At my new place, I don't have internet (yet) and it looks like that is tripping off Windows (maybe it increased security settings???). I have my folders mapped, I used to be able to access my NAS folders through Windows Explorer and if that wasn't working, \\ diskstation always worked. But now on my new location, as soon as I connect to the LAN, Windows seems to do a connection test as my browser opens and it tries to go to a Microsoft webpage, but soon enough I get forwarded to my router which is saying it is not connected to the internet. When I try to access my diskstation by \\ diskstation it times out after a minute or so.

    I can, however, access the NAS through the web interface, but moving files that way is a pain.

    It all works just fine on my Windows 7 machine though, so I am currently blaming windows 10 and not the router.

    When I moved, nothing changed. I have the same router, same NAS, fixed IPs. The only difference is the router not receiving internet signal anymore.

    How can I access my NAS folders through Windows Explorer again?



    My setup:

    • Windows 10 laptop
    • Windows 7 laptop
    • Synology DS116
    • Asus RT-AC66U router

    Can't access NAS without internet

    Should I go for a NAS?


    1. How many PC's need access to the data?
    2. Are you streaming data to TV's or mobile devices?
    3. Do you need to access the data whilst the PC is off

    If you are not thinking of any of the above I would suggest that 8TB of storage On the PC and sufficient Backup Space external to it would be fine, and more cost effective.

    If you are intending any of the above and especially Number 3 then a NAS looks more appropriate
