Administrative page won't show up - ReadyNAS 314
Hi everyone, We work at a research station in a remote area where we don't have a lot of internet, so the PC we use to connect to the ReadyNAS 314 does not have an internet connection. We have a...

Thank you for taking some of your time to study this case, even though it was not very clear at first!
My pleasure, it was interesting to learn a little about your setup.

If you are connecting some PCs to both networks simultaneously, you could try setting the LAN IP address range to 10.0.0.x. That might get more consistent behavior when WiFi is turned on.
Hi Stephen,
Thank for your quick answers.
The "access points" I am talking about are NanoBeam M5 (https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/nanobeam/NanoBeam_DS.pdf) that works has bridge (or relay?) for the data to reach our computer.
"Is one of the LAN ports of the router connected to one of your switches?" No, there is no direct connection via ethernet cables between the router and the hydrophone/switches network.
"Do you know what LAN address your router is using?" On IPv4 it is set to "Using DHCP" and Router has an IP of 192.168.1.1.
"This really should also be assigned a 192.168.1.x address." I have assigned the IP of the ReadyNAS 314 to 192.168.1.150 and it is working (I can access the admin page).
Thank you for taking some of your time to study this case, even though it was not very clear at first!
Best regards,
Dyllo

Well we only have one PC, the rest are Macs. The PC is the only one connected to the "hydrophone network" and is normally not connected to the internet. I did try to connect the PC to the internet this morning and I could still reach the admin page of the netgear so everything is working!
As I am leaving the research station tomorrow I might not change the IP address range to 10.0.0.x. as I don't know what it would change on the hydrophone network..(I didn't get what to change really haha)
Thanks a lot Stephen,

FWIW "PC" was meant to be generic (windows, mac, linux, chromebook, ...)
But if everything is working, then leave well enough alone.
I am a bit curious on where you are located. Is this cetacean research or something else?
Hey Stephen,
"FWIW "PC" was meant to be generic (windows, mac, linux, chromebook, ...)" Oh I see, my bad!
"But if everything is working, then leave well enough alone." Yeap, I'm just going to leave this like that I think, thanks for the help, it is much appreciated!
"I am a bit curious on where you are located. Is this cetacean research or something else?" Yes, it is a whale research station amoung the coast of British Columbia.
Acoustic and visual data are combined in order to study fin whales, orcas and humpback whales!
Thanks for everything,
Dyllo
