John, Nfs needs nfs-common and possibly nfs-client packages installed. Without that - nfs will not mount. What gets installed depend on the installer.
What you need to do id: sudo apt install nfs-common Then try to mount it by: sudo mount /media/jjj/Synology You will see it it works or complains. I assume that your network is working on the laptop and you are connected.
