So something like afp://192.168.1.50/your_share (for Apple) might give you more success, avoiding local DNS issues altogether.Īlso, if you want to use server names instead of IP addresses, try afp://yourNAS.local/your_share. Net/net, I think it might be worthwhile to look into setting up a static IP address for your NAS, and always hitting it from your computers using the IP address rather than by NAS 'name'. You might also look into configuring your NAS to be the 'master browser' on your network (you'll have to google this one) to resolve DNS issues. Regarding Apple computers networking issues, in the realm of 'tweaking-techie' things might be to change the version of SMB that your NAS device uses - SMB 3.0 is the latest standard but people have reported better compatibility with Apple products by lowering the SMB level used in the NAS to SMB 2.0 or even 1. 100 for static assignments, for things like my printer (which definitely prefers a static assignment) and my NAS. And in my network I have all DHCP assignments starting at 192.168.1.100, reserving everything below.

When I setup my eero, I found the 'advanced' setting to configure the DHCP range to start with 192.168.1.0, which is what my static-IP-configured NAS was expecting and consistent with how I am used to accessing my home network.

While people are always saying AFP (Apple's own legacy networking protocol) is 'on its way out', I've found it still the most reliable way of connecting to a NAS with a Mac computer.

In my case it had to do with the SMB implementation Apple uses, it's non-standard/proprietary, so rather than using the standard libraries everyone else does, they rolled their own. For what it's worth, although I don't have a QNAP, I do have a Synology NAS and had similar issues with accessing it from my Mac computers (Windows PC's were OK).
