Suddenly I can NOT take Time Machine BackUps on my Synology NAS

I have the latest iMac M4 with Tahoe and I'm taking Time Machine BackUps on my Synology DS415play.

Recently Apple announced that she would no longer support afp but only smb, so I changed everything on my NAS to SMB. Since then, Time Machine connects to my disk, but it can not take a backup returning message "Try taking a backup when diskstation.local is available". Can you help ?
