I have a new Netgear Nighthawk router as my main router, but now that I have it I am unable to connect to my Synology DS115j NAS which is up in my room connected via Ethernet to a switch which is then connected to some homeplugs. How can I make the NAS visible to my devices again?

Soon after posting this message, I found another website that told me how to do it, and it was a simple case of pressing the reset button on the back of the NAS which reset the network configuration, then all I had to do was use the Synology Assistant on my desktop to change the network settings again, and after that it worked again! Many thanks for your reply though!

insure that the NAS has a correctly configured IP address, with static or obtaining an address from the DHCP. You should also insure that the homeplugs are working properly and making a physical connection. If possible also take out the switch temporarily to check that is is working.
