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.

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.

Firmware 4.2.27
What is Frontview?
I am using RAIDar_6.5.0

The admin web ui you get when you go to https://nas-ip-address/admin (using the real IP address of the NAS of course). That is also where RAIDar will take you (though you don't need to use RAIDar for this).
You install the add-on from this page (selecting the "Add New" tab at the top):
You might want to download the software manual here:

I suggest updating it to 4.2.31
If check for updates doesn't find it, you can download the zip from the link above, extract the binary, and install it manually.
Skip the registration bit (clicking "Later").
