I've had this equipment since 2013 and it just keeps going. I don't login to the admin very often because it's so reliable. However, I can't login right now when I use either of the IP addresses (192...

Is this working as a router? If is is, the IP addresses of the NAS might have changed.
Or if you had set up the NAS to use a static IP, then it's IP address is outside the range for the new router. That's a common issue, which is why setting a static IP is usually a bad idea. IP address reservation in the router is a better solution.
If that is the case, then you can temporarily use the old router again and go in and disable static IP, make a direct connection with a PC and do the same, or do an OS re-install, which will set it back to static IP and also reset the admin password to the default. Just don't accidentally do a factory default, which erases all data.
FYI, a NAS is not a "set and forget" device, even if you have email alerts turned on. You really should be "checking in" on it occasionally with at least RAIDar, but better the admin interface. I do so weekly or more often, which is probably overkill. But I wouldn't suggest anything less often than monthly.

File Explorer can still access the files, which rules out the address range possibility.
