Changed network location
Please Help!
Hi, I just recently moved, got a new router with my cable company.
My gateway was 192.168.0.1, and my last gateway was 192.168.168.1
So I changed setting in router to 192.168.168.1
My NAS was set to 192.168.168.7. I'm still getting a "no Ip address on my NAS.
I cannot ping it, and it is not showing up in the list of connected deviced on the router.
Is there something that needs to change on the router settings?

RAIDar should be able to find the NAS, even if it's not in the right sub-net and tell you what it's IP address is. One exception could be if two devices are trying to use the same address (which is a hazard of reserving an IP address in the NAS itself).
If you can't work it out, an OS re-install will set the NAS back to using DHCP to get an IP address (and also reset the password to the default). Just take care to do an OS re-install, not a factory reset (which wipes your data).
Once you do get it worked out, it is better to do an address reservation in the router. Then a router change doesn't create this issue (you just need to find the new address via RAIDar).
