Readynas RNDP4000 unable to access admin page or share
I have a Mac OS 10.13.6. After a power outage, I cannot access the admin page or share my ReadyNAS RNDP4000. After the power outage, my NAS automatically went through a Resync cycle. After that completed, I tried Raidar and the NAS showed up but when I clicked on it to "set-up", my web browser said it did not have access to the internet and could not display the page. I have internet. I tried different browsers and still had the problem. When going to the finder on my mac, I can see the NAS show up there but when I click to access it, I get the error "Connection Failed". I tried to connect via Connect to Server but I still cannot connect. I went to my admin page on my Orbi and I can see the NAS there as well. In a nutshell, I can boot up the NAS and can see the NAS in the finder and Raidar but can't connect. Prior to the outage, I had an error message that I have IP address assigned to two different devices (same IP address as my NAS) but when I checked all my devices, there was no other device with that IP address (I have static IP addresses besides) and I no longer receive that error. I never received any other errors that indicated anything was wrong with the unit prior to the power outage.
I've tried the usual: unplug for 30 minutes and tried a new network cable. I did not perform the system reset as I don't want to lose any data or mess anything up until I spoke with a more experienced user.

The /admin bit is important, so make sure you are adding that.
Is ssh enabled on the NAS?
If there is a chance of a duplicate IP address, perhaps disconnect everything else from your home network except the NAS and the PC.

What happens when you ping the NAS?
What status is RAIDar giving you?
Are you seeing any issues on the LCD screen?
Did you try browsing to https://nas-ip-address/admin ? (using the real IP address of course).

Thank you for your quick reply. It's been years since I've "pinged" anything and forgot how to do it with the latest OS.
I downloaded the latest Raidar, installed it and received an error (see screen shot attached).
Raidar says "Healthy"
No issues on the LCD screen - all is normalYes, I tried going directly to the IP address via browsers, but the page won't load.
When I go to "Locate" in raidar, I don't see the blinking lights.
