Transferring a Readynas 2100 from an old network to a new one
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 wh...

How to change the IP address on the Nas to match my current range?
An OS reinstall will do the trick. See pages 12-13 here:
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.
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???
1.83.10.x is a public internet address (used by China Telecom), not something you'd be using on a home network.
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.
