I have all my music on my NAS.
Yesterday I received a new router.
I have to change my password to get access from my laptop to my NAS thru the router.
In addition to @Timo_Beil I can say that that is strange behavior as changing the router should not interfere with access password on your NAS, only thing that could change is LAN IP address of NAS eg. instead of "\\192.168.1.123" -> "192.168.1.57" (or similar), because most of current devices today uses DHCP to fetch IP automatically from router. Same thing goes for your Laptop. I am curious what NAS you have (I hope it is not
WD MyCloud home because based on WD itself it is not full NAS and do not work without internet connection and valid MyCloud Login (it creates Virtual Tunelling LAN driver to access files and is authorized thru internet so no offline files), but rather mobile could storage to
backup data from mobile device in local HDD storage over internet). I successfully found way to make space and data available over LAN but in unprotected PUBLIC storage folder and you need to move existing files from cloud storage space to Public space, which remove ability to access files directly from Mobile device over internet.
