Something is acting as a server. I doubt its t he ring chime pro. Did you try to access it via the 192.168.7.1?
Another thing you could try would be to turn off all your devices (other than modem and router) and gradually add devices. At some point the device acting as the dhcp service is going to be turned on and start causing havok. thats basically your goal, find whats acting as the dhcp server.

Otherwise besides the NAS, it's the usual computers, laptops, iphones, Chromecast, AppleTV, etc. I made sure that the option on the NAS to act as a DHCP server not on though.

You guys were right. I found that my in laws had plugged in a telephone router for a landline they were using. It's been there for a long time, so I'm not sure what happend after the firmware update.

Glad to hear you got it working and figured our which device decided to start handing out ip addresses.
