ReadyNAS and NetGear Suck!!
What seemed to be a cool product has turned out to be crap. The drive HCL is old and outdated. None of the drives listed are current models and are only available online. My Ultra 4+ just reboots all ...
Is your IP address set as static (you assign the number) or is it provided by the router (the DHCP server)? From the low fourth digit, I would suspect that the router assigns the IP address. Most home networks are in the 192.168.1 subnet (Linksys and Netgear routers among others default to this range). What IP address is shown in RAIDar when the front panel shows 65.152.109.110?
On of the best diagnostic tools is to do a direct connection between the NAS and a PC. When the NAS cannot find a DHCP server, it will default to 192.168.168.168 if set to dynamic IP assignment. Most then manually set the PC to 192.168.168.169 (any address in the 192.168.168 subnet other than 168 will work). I was advised to use this when I was having network problems with my then new NVX 18 months ago and as a result determined that I had an incompatible 3rd party switch which was then replaced with the Netgear GS108 switch which solved the problem. Here are some instructions in further detail.
If you do not have any problems with the NAS while direct connected to the PC, then the problems are elsewhere in the network. I disagree with removing the devices one by one, I think you should go bask to a basic setup. If the direct connection works, then connect that same PC and the NAS to the router. If that works, then add back all the other devices one by one. When the problem returns, you have found the problem.
