Yes, and it's useful to reserve an IP address for the NAS there.

That said, it's worth taking the time to get RAIDar to function. It does have some diagnostic functions that can help when the NAS admin interface fails.
Thank you, to both of your points I've been letting the router assign the IP for years and from time to time when we have long power outages I've noticed the IP address for the NAS gets reset and I'm having to find what it is everytime.
