Cannot access nas from wired network but with wifi yes (Archer D7)

Hello. I please need help to understand one problem that is driving me crazy.
I have at home a lan network and recently i had to change router, so i put one that i already had: an Archer D7 from tp-linlk with the last firmware.
When i changed router, i had to change also position to it, so i arranged cables to make little order in that room.
The router is set to "Wireless Router Mode" and in its WAN port has antenna from my provider (Eolo).
I have a buffalo linkstation connected with cable to router. I has smb 2.0 enabled.
I have an old HP desktp PC with windows 10 freshly installed (it had Windows 7 but when i updated it hoping to solve this problem) and my laptop with windows 10 too. The dekstop pc is connected with cable.
From both pc if i type \\nas\ (or the ip 192.168.2.6), i type username and password and then:
- using Wifi (integrated on my laptop, with an usb dongle on pc desktop) i can see folders and i can browse them
- using wired connection, after insert my credentials (correct) i can see only 1st level of shared folders, but i can't browse them.
it stays there long time without any error but "working" cursors. If i switch to wifi, it enters inside folders.
Here everything i tried:
- change cable
- change port on router
- set static address without DHCP
- update pc desktop to windows 10
- change the rj connectors to nas and dekstop cables
- leave connected only the nas and 1 pc
- tried with my laptop (as i noticed the problem on my desktop pc, so i tried with my laptop)
- disable wifi guest network on router
- disable smb 1 on pc
- disable ipv6 on pc
- uninstall and reinstall network adapter on
- disable windows firewall and defender (i still have not installed any antivirus)
- change dns server to 192.168.2.1 and 8.8.8.8
- access with ip instead of nas' name
- allow everything in advanced sharing center for all profiles
- sharing a folder from my laptop it is accessible from the desktop one (it works)
- on nas share a folder browsable by anyone (i can't go inside it)
I finished ideas about what problem can be and what to do.
If you please have any suggestion i will appreciate it.
Thank you very much
Have a nice day
Good morning @Sunshine .
I just tried to connect the old router (a cheap D-Link DIR-657/B), internet antenna and all lan cables and it works fine: i can connect to my nas with cable connection. If i put back the Archer D7 router, without turning off pc / nas, again i can't connect. I try to post some screenshot hoping that i made a bad configuration.
thank you very much
