WD NAS storage doesn't show up in the new Super Fast Vodafone router

[JoseAlmeida]

Since I got Vodafone broadband my WD NAS storage doesn't show up in the Vodafone Router.

The ethernet lights are amber for left and amber blinking on the right meaning I have a 1000Mbps connection.

But when I go to the router to check the IP address of the NAS storage, there is no IP for the NAS on the LAN connection.

Quite weird.

Help.

I still cant see the NAS.

I am about to buy any router, to replace the Vodafone one.

You might still have problems finding your NAS even if you buy another router and set it to use 192.168.0.x
If the NAS has a fixed IP set on the NAS, it won't ask for an IP from the router and the router might then not know about it.  Some routers will list what they see on the network though, your mileage may vary.

Forget what I said in my last post...
I have a VM router and a Vodafone router on my network. Both of them have DHCP turned off so they don't hand out IPs. I have a separate DHCP server for that.
That said, both Routers list the devices on my network.
So, if as already suggested, you change the network on you Vodafone router to 192.168.0.x to match how your VM router was set, you should see you NAS in the device list on your Vodafone Router. Not sure where it will be on your router. My list is on the first page when I log into the Vodafone router

If your router is similar to mine,  Set the router to "expert mode", click on the "Status and Support" tab, and then "NAT Mapping table", you will hopefully see your NAS. The mac address and IP address is listed for connected devices. 
You should  be able to see mac address of your NAS on it's case if you are lucky. Then you can match them up.

Both routers will list all your lan devices if they are on 192.168.0.0/24 because they call out to the DHCP server to get the local directory. If the NAS is static there's likely a way to get the DHCP server to reveal it. Otherwise there are good open source programs for Windows that will probe the lan at every address and we'll known port and thereby discover all of the active connections.

I think my Vodafone router only lists devices that have active or previously active connections through it.
My VM router is on 192.168.0.1 and Vodafone router is on 192.168.0.2
Both routers get used by various devices in my network by me setting the default gateway by IP.   
There are 54 devices on my network.
The Vodafone router lists only 11 in both the lists I mentioned in my previous post. 
The VM router lists 52 devices
There is some overlap. 
I guess the VM and Vodafone routers use different methods to create their device lists.

I changed the IP as you said and after going around and resetting some devices around the house to start working again, the NAS still the same.

I will try and reset the NAS again, but I am about to lose hope.

Just to confirm - you are in the UK? 

[JoseAlmeida]

Yes and a Vodafone employee.

Unfortunately that doesn't give you any extra privileges😉.

You didn't answer my previous questions, so I'll try again.

What Vodafone router are you using, is it the THG3000?

Is your NAS using DHCP or have you given it a static IP, or can you simply not remember?
