ReadyNas and Asus RT-AT3200 Router
My old router just died, and I bought a Asus RT-AC3200 router and updated it to latest firmware.
I hooked up my Netgear ReadyNas Duo to the new routers lan port and powered it on.

The workaround would be to assign the duo a static address. A trickier one is to use 192.168.168.x as the LAN subnet, and reserve 192.168.168.168 to the NAS. Then a DHCP failure would still end up with the NAS using the same IP address. However, it is better to just use DHCP, so hopefully you can get it to work.
In addition to checking the cabling, you should also
- try a different switch port in the router
- try putting a switch between the NAS and the router
- look for a setting in the router to turn off the "green network" feature for ethernet
You could also try removing/reinserting the ethernet cable after the NAS is booted, just to see if the DHCP issue occurs only when the NAS is booting.
UPDATE
I was not able to fix my problem trying all sugestions from Asus support, so I returned the Asus router and bought a new Netgear X6S router instead. And now I am really fustrated, because I have exactly the same problem using the new Netgear router.
When conecting through the router, the Nic Light is on both the router and the NAS, indicating that they are conected, but the NAS is not detected by the RaidAr and do not show up at the routers network map .
When conecting directly through my laptops Lan port RaidAr detects the NAS, and I can browse the NAS and and also log into and use the Frontwiev admin page.
The NAS network interface IPv4 is set up to "use value from a DHCP server", but even so it seems like it is not obtaining ip adress from the router, or if it is it will not connect to the router/network.
I also just tried a OS reinstall (but I am not quite sure if that went through since RAIDiator firmware is still 4.1.16 after reinstall).
What could possibly be wrong here ? Everything was working just fine before my old Netgear X4 router died.
Anyone ? ?
