Alexa & Deco & Audiostation not playing together.

Hi, I'm struggling to get my three devices to play together.
My Alexa will connect to the Internet via the Deco, but I can not get the Alexa to talk to the Synology NAS Audiostaion. Part of the process is to generate a Letsencrypt SSL, and link a Skill and the device via the Amazon website.
I think the problem is a firewall issue, it did work once using UPNP, but I'm not happy having my network open so much. I said it worked once, now no matter what I do, upnp or not the ssl will not connect to the NAS.
Anyone, had any success getting Alexa to play with a NAS?
Cheers
Stu.
@Im-New-To-This Hi David, I was hoping that someone had successfully set up Alexa through the Deco, I did once using UPnP, but have UPnP constantly activated is not something I am happy with. However, even UPnP does not seem to work now. Alexa has internet access, tested with BBC, but when I try to link the Letsencrypt SSL it refuses to do so, even though it did just over a week ago. I'm thinking there maybe a firewall/access in my networkk somewhere.

Solution.
and 4 hours later..................
Finally got it to work, now, I need to find out how and why. 
Actions taken, Uninstalled Audiostation, Turned on UPnP, opened port 443 via deco, reset LetsEncrypt SSL, Amazon still not accepting SSL!!
Disabled Quickconnect (This is the Synology DNS address via their website), Opened Audiostation via DNS address (would not do that earlier either!), manged to link Audiostation Skill with Alexa, now working a treat.
Not sure if the Quickconnect process was interferring with the SSL verification process !?
