A switch won't help, a router would.

Hello bnrush,

Welcome to the community!

RAIDar should see it even if the computer and the NAS are not on the same IP subnet. Can you uninstall RAIDar 6.0 and install RAIDar Version 4.3.8 for MAC OS X instead.

How are the LED activities, by the way?

Regards,

Hi Jenn,

How do I uninstall 6.0? No options apparent.

Thanks!

On windows 6.0 is portable, so you can just delete it. You can also install both versions.

But I don't know if that is also the case on the Mac.

  RAIDar Version 4.3.8 is installed and still not detectingthe NAS
  
  How do I check if my laptop and the NAS or on the same subnet if I can't get to it? LEDs on the front of the device show both drives normal. The subnet mask on my side is 255.255.0.0.

    Hi bnrush,
    
    There's something wrong with your system. Can you try to remove both drives (when turned off) and boot it up afterward and see if it shows up on the RAIDar window.
    
    Note: Label the drives once removed so they won't mix up.
    
    Kind regards,
