Deco M9+ adding a WD NAS
Coming at this with no networking experience
Have set up my Deco wifi network and really happy with it
Now trying to add my NAS, it's an older model WD MyWorldBook which I've completely reset to factory defaults
I can connect the NAS via ethernet to my iMac and access the settings via browser and mount the drive no problem
I rather naively thought I would then just disconnect and reconnect to my primary M9 and it would appear on the network but 2 attempts at this have failed. I've searched for answers and seen mention of static vs DHCP although I have no idea what this means and if I need to change anything. My previous set-up was a standard virginmedia router wifi network and the NAS just plugged into the router and appeared on the network without a problem.
Any help would be much appreciated
