ReadyNAS 316 Static IP on IP I no longer have access to??
I replaced my modem. In turn my routers to needed to be reset. However, my available IP range changed and the IP that I had been using 10.1.xx.xx is no longer available to me. Now I have no way to ad...
It is unlikely you set a static IP on both LAN ports. Just plug it into the other and see if it gets a new address via DHCP. Note that this is one reason why setting a fixed IP in the NAS is a bad idea. It is much better to reserve an address in the router.

Yes, that is usually a good solution for ReadyNAS with more than one LAN port.
You can of course change the router configuration to match the address range used by the old router.
Another way to solve this is to do an OS reinstall on the NAS from the boot menu. That will reset the network configuration in the NAS to use DHCP. It has a couple of side effects - the NAS admin password is reset to password, and volume Quota is turned off. Both are easily changed once you regain access.

Totally agree.
