Changed router, can't see NAS
I had my ReadyNas set up working fine with my wi-fi router (connected via a switch). In order not to clash with my work's network, the NAS was assigned a static IP of 192.168.3.39 I had to repl...
Your options are
(a) do an OS reinstall on the NAS. That will change the IP configuration to use DHCP, so you will get an automatically assigned 192.168.1.x address. It will also reset the password to the factory default. The procedure varies, depending on the model - so please follow up with the model number and the current firmware. RAIDar should still be able to tell you the router firmware btw.
(b) temporarily assign a PC the address 192.168.3.38, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Directly connect the PC to the NAS (run an ethernet cable between them, with no switch or router in between). You can then access the NAS by entering http://192.168.3.39/admin. Once there, reset the address of the NAS to DHCP.
(c) if you still have the old router, connect the NAS and a PC to it (no need to connect it to the internet). Then you can access the NAS as before. Reset the address to DHCP, then re-cable to use the new router.
The best way to set up the NAS IP address is to leave it at automatic, and then reserve an address for it in the router. What router model are you using?
