An NAS device is a "network attached storage" device. This is a computer hardware component like a jump drive or external hard disk drive that is being shared over a network. Once connected to the network, your NAS device will share the general IP address of your own computer. Therefore, if you want to find out the IP address of your NAS device you just have to find out your computer's IP address through the Control Panel.
