You installed two new disks together, so the system did a fresh factory install. That switched the system to use DHCP - which won't work with a direct connect.
Options are to
- change your PC lan connection to be consistent with 192.168.168.x networks. For instance, use static IP 192.168.168.100, with a gateway of 192.168.168.1, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Then access https://192.168.168.168/admin
- connect the NAS to your router.
- power down the NAS, and install the original two disks. Power up. Then replace one at a time (waiting for the resync to complete on he first before hot-swapping the second). You likely will need to reformat both of the two Ironwolfs on the volume page again, in order to trigger the resync.
