My NAS has been running continuously for about 10 years but yesterday it became inaccessible from either File Explorer or a browser, yet the router is still seeing it fine with its usual IP. I've set up a temporary workaround using a spare HDD plugged into the router but really need some way to access the NAS and recover stuff. I've read that you can connect an NAS directly to a computer by giving both computer and NAS an IP in the same subnet range but as I can't access the NAS at all I can't see any way of doing so. It wouldn't be the first time I've missed something obvious, so hopefully I have this time too?
I have both Win 11 Pro and Win 10 Pro computers available to try any fixes.
