Vodafone router doesn't work with NAS

I've just moved broadband provider to Vodafone and installed the router,

 

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to read the NAS (WD MyBook Live), linked through the LAN ethernet cable, which i use to access files on my home computers.

 

I had no problems with my previous BT router. I've chekced that the NAS definitely still works by plugging  it direct into the computer.

 

i called Vodafone customer support but they were unable to help and advised me to look here.

 

Does anyone know how to deal with this? I had a look in the router settings but couldn't seem to find anything.

 

If I don't get it resolved, I will cancel the Vodafone contract because I'm still in the trial period, but I'd rather not.

 

Thanks

Have you tried giving it a drive letter? Follow this guide, but use the IP address of the router instead of the vodafone.broadband path, if the full network path doesn't work

This is mine:

Thanks for that idea. I have wondered whether the name is too long or has symbols that sonos does not like. I know it was called //BT/vertatimHD or similar.
