Vodafone router setup for Synology NAS

[onlymeagain]

Hi there

I have a Synology DS215j NAS that I am trying to set up with my Vodafone router.

Before I changed to Vodafone, my router worked with my previous Broadband supplier.  Since I have changed over, I cannot access my router remotely from an external computer. 

It seems like my NAS cannot connect through the router.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, yes you need to do the following:

1. Go to control panel, network and click manually enter DNS server

2. enter 8.8.8.8 in the first box and 8.8.4.4 in the second box (alternative)

when you have done this, when changing routers for some reason you have to force refresh the synology. You need to do the following :-

1. click control panel, network

2. click network interface tab on the top 

3. click on the applicable LAN connection and press edit

4. change to use manually configuration and press save.

5. Change back to get network configuration automatically and press save.

6. This then forces the synology to refresh all network settings, if you go to quick connect settings you will see its talking again with the outside world.
