Look on the ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup page of the router. Note you are changing the addresses for all the devices on your network.
I use a different router (Orbi), but the screen should look similar to mine (below):
Mine happens to be set to 10.0.0.1; yours is probably 192.168.1.1. Reset it to 192.168.0.1.
Also check the "Use Router as DHCP Server" which should be right below the router IP address. When you change the router IP address, that range should also change to 192.168.0.2 -> 192.168.0.254. Since you are using 192.168.0.2 for the NAS, you also need to change the starting address. 192.168.0.100 will work fine for this.
After you regain access, I suggest resetting the NAS to use DHCP on the network settings tab. Then reserve an IP address for the NAS in the router (address reservation should also be on the ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup page).

Is there a way to do a factory reset on the nas?
A factory reset will destroy your data. As I mentioned above, you could also do an OS reinstall on the NAS. The procedure is on pages 20-22 of the hardware manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
As noted above, the OS reinstall will change a couple of settings.
- IP address will be reset to use DHCP (automatic)
- admin password will be reset to password
- volume quota will be turned off
You should change the admin password back after you regain access to the NAS (and reset volume quota if you like). If you want to see the space consumed by each share on the share page of the web ui (or if you use quotas on each share), you need to enable volume quota. If you don't care about that, then you can just leave it off.

I am not running a RAX80 netgear router with my nas connected into it.
the nas shows as a unknown deivce with a mac address but no IP on the attached devices to the router. can still see the net on the network using RAIDar?
what setting do i need ot change on my router to fix this?
Is there a way to do a factory reset on the nas?
