Anyone using a TD-W8970 with a NAS ??
Region : Australia

Hi Guys first post here...
Im having issues setting up port forwarding with my Synology NAS.
My house is all connected via network cable, going to a main 24-port switch, which is connected to a Modem/Router (TP-LINK in this case). I can access the NAS from anywhere on my home network, send and receive is fine.
I previously used a Billion modem/router in the same config and it all worked fine.
The problem is that when going through the Synology setup, it fails to see the tp-link. So therefore I cannot run its port forwarding program to setup all my ports. Which in turn the NAS can't access the internet.
I have started going through the port-forward setting on the router interface, and manually entered the ports - i realized that I'm limited to the number of ports i'm allowed to open!
I have also run a port testing program, some are successfully opened the others are not.
Can anybody give me an idea of what is going wrong? Is there some button i need to check or switch on the modem?
Cheers!!
