Great, thanks! Now it looks like it running in the OS install mode.
When i log into the IP, it's no longer found. I then checked the router and it says not connected. Am i missing something?

Try using RAIDar, and see if it can discover the NAS. https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
It's possible the IP address has changed.
