I have just had my internet service upgraded which included getting a new NVG468MQ router. I am now having problems connecting to my local Media NAS and files NAS.
I can access both via Windows explorer but not through a web interface. I get a Secure Connection Failed.

Also, I cannot access the Media Nas via FireTV.

Research tells me I need an SSL certificate even for local sites because I am using HTTP. Is this true?

I am unsure what I need to configure on the router to get these to work.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

How To Set Up a NAS (Network Attached Storage)

A nifty way to access our files over the internet is by using a NAS, or Network Attached Storage device. A NAS is basically a way of connecting a centralized hard drive to our network, like a cloud storage device, providing access to it and all files within, to all of our other connected devices.

If the PC is on the same network as the NAS and the router, you should be able to simply put the IP# of the NAS in the address field of the browser and connect that way.
To connect remotely (from outside your network), you must use port forwarding from within the router's Admin settings.

I am using my original FiOS G1100 and everything is good. I've had some choice words with Frontier and they are replacing the router again. They have already sent me two Arris and an Eero 6 which are still here. They are coming out at the end of this week for another ONT replacement and help with my lan setup.
