I have saved a Readynas 2100 from my business in 2017.I would like to use it again for my new business without lossing data on the drives. The IP address on the nas is a different range then what I am currently using. How to change the IP address on the Nas to match my current range? Anyone? Thanks

See pages 12-13 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/RackMount_HW_2June11.pdf That will reset the network config to use DHCP with no bonding reset the admin password to netgear1 It will not delete shares or change other settings. Likely after you do this, you will also find that you get a SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error when you try to access frontview. You can work around this by using FireFox, and setting security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting). Then install this add-on to add TLS 1.2 support to your NAS. https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin/blob/main/apache2/x86/Apache2_2.2.34-x86-0.2.0.bin

Thanks for you help StephenB, I did some reading up after going through your answer.It is clear for me that my IT experience is very low! 🙂 I found that it may be possible to add an extra IP range to my existing one so that my computer can access the Readynas.Would you agree that this is viable? I now have a 192.168.2.-- range and would like to add a 1.83.10.-- range Do you see a possible solution for that, and if so how? Cheers, Ron

No, this is not going to work. Is there a reason you don't want to use the OS-reinstall? That will end up with the NAS being assigned a 192.168.2.x address by your home router.

Did you perhaps mean 10.83.10??? Yes. Point 4 on page 13 mentions...Continue to press the Reset button until all the LEDS except the disk activity LED illuminate. So its not clear what is meant here as in the about the disk activity. Questions:Do I need to have this exact pattern of lights?You mentioned resetting the admin password. Do I do this using the app Raidar? In the table with

The LED's are clearly identified in the manual: https://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/UM/ReadyNAS2100_UMv1.1_22Jun09.pdf The OS re-install does the password reset, you don't do it separately.

That will

reset the network config to use DHCP with no bonding

reset the admin password to netgear1

It will not delete shares or change other settings.

  Hi Stephan,
  
  Ok, your advise was very helpful! Great!
  Is up and running, but as you mentioned I now need to install the Apache 2 bin file.
  I have tried different things but now am still missing something to get this installed.
  I have downloaded Firefox and followed the instructions for setting security.tls.version.min to 1
  This has worked.
  So...now the last opp. 🙂
  
  Cheers, Ron

    What firmware are you running?
    
    Normally you just install the bin as an add-on in Frontview.
