You don't.

SQL has a set of requirements for storage devices and in the majority of cases NAS devices don't support them. There's a traceflag that will disable those checks, but doing so is incredibly risky and strongly not recommended.

iSCSI works, SANs work, direct-attached storage works. Simple NAS devices don't.
