What should I do if my NAS is not detected on the network?

Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected and that the LEDs on the network port are lit. Make sure your computer and the NAS are on the same local network. Use Buffalo NAS Navigator to search for the device. If necessary, restart the NAS.
