I want to set a QNAP NAS drive in my apartment in Spain but want to configure it in the UK and take it Spain fully functional. Is this feasible or will different internet settings etc in Spain interfere with the set up?

Depends what you are planning to do with it. You can create folders, copy music to it, install some apps if you want to. But network settings, port forwards and such will change so that's a waste of time.
I plan to connect a wireless router to a cable modem. I'll plug the NAS and the media source directly to the router. I was just concerned that all the settings would be looking for specific IP addresses that would now be different. I also wondered whether it would work without the internet connection just allowing me to play the music I have ripped on the NAS drive. Theoretically it should, but I don't know if the internet connection is vital for setting it up.

Hi,
"Media Source" is a bit vague, I'm assuming it's a Meridian/Sooloos setup ... can you share with us. (A lot of us on here populate our sig. box with equipment info).
Also you don't mention what device going to run the Sooloos the Core. For Sooloos you need Core + Store + Source.
Though Sooloos will play just fine without an internet connection. A connection is only required to: update album metadata, Tidal, Radio and for software updated.
