Lightroom on a NAS & New Router

I have to replace a slowly failing router, and I store all of my photos on my Synology NAS.  If I re-establish all the exact same mappings to the NAS, will my catalogs still recognize those mappings, or will I have to somehow rebuild the catalog?

The router shouldn't have any effect on your NAS except maybe the internal IP address might change and even that you could just set up the same.

I have installed the new router, and set the same IP address as the old router, and now I can't find the Synology NAS. I can successfully PING it, and I also shut down the firewall to see if that helped, but no joy.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you! My plan is to keep the same addressing, so as to mitigate any potential problems like that.

    If you keep all the same mappings, LrC should be happy and work without any additional effort.

      Thank you! I'll be setting up the router tonight, I hope, and running some tests.  I'm not deactivating the old router until I'm sure this thing works, though.
