Thank you for the reply. I rebooted everything in my network, router, DCHP, NAS, DNS, Etc. After everything came back up, the devices were able to connect again and all is well.

At any rate, the system is back online and working as I expect.

EDIT: I removed the device from insight. Then it showed it as "unclaimed". I then added it again, and now it's just in a loop of "Fetching device status" and "Waiting for first connect"...
Still wont connect to insight.

Your device might not have support but your insight subscription should.
To get a hold of support for subscriptions services like Armor/Circle/insight, click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
Register an account (or login) and then the device.
From there you can start the support process.
