I have a ReadyNAS NV+ running 4.1.14 and want to switch networks
For years I had my ReadyNAS NV+ running 4.1.14 on my home network using wrt54GS wireless routers with Tomato installed. They run nicely but the speeds are not very good. They NV+ devices are setup to...

I'll give this a try. I don't really use the old wireless routers for anything but legacy gear that hasn't been switched over to the faster Comcast modem/wireless router.
So:
1) Via Netgear Admin - Switch to DHCP
2) Also switch the Gateway to 10.0.01?
3) Do I need to change the DNS address to correspond to Comast?

Isn't it 10.0.0.1 already?

DHCP normally gives out the DNS address. Some routers will hand out 10.0.0.1 (and act as a DNS proxy). Others will pass through the original DNS services.
On the NAS, you can remove the DNS servers when you switch over to DHCP. It's safe to add 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server after you've done that. 8.8.8.8 is Google's public DNS.
RE:10.0.0.1 Yes that is what the Comcast is set for. I am referring to Default Gateway setting on the NV+. Currently it is set for 192.168.1.1
EDIT: 90% of all devices are connected via Wi-Fi using the Comcast's 10.XX.XX.XX addresses. I can work on having the router provide specific IP4 addresses once I get the NV+ sorted.
Oh, and thank you for your assistance to date.
