RAIDar shows 10.0.0.8 for the NAS.

Router-connected wireless devices all have IP addresses starting with 172.16.0.X - so that must be the area that the router deals in

If your router uses 172.16.0.x addresses, then you can't ping 10.0.0.8.

Did you configure the NAS to use a static address?  If not, can you give us some more info on how your NAS is connected to the router (giving the manufacturer/model for any intermediate devices)

There are a couple of things you can try:

(a) directly connect the PC ethernet to the NAS (bypassing the router).  Temporarily configure the PC to use 10.0.0.7, gateway 10.0.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  Then enter https://10.0.0.8/admin in your browser, and reset the NAS network configuration to use DHCP.  Reconnect the system as before, and change the PC back to DHCP.

(b) set the router range to use 10.0.0.x, and use address reservation (a usual router feature) to reserve 10.0.0.8 for the NAS.  That should let you connect,  After that make sure the NAS is configured to use DHCP.

(c) Do an OS reinstall from the front panel of the NAS.  That resets the NAS to use DHCP, and also reset the NAS admin password to netgear1.  It shouldn't change any other settings or delete data.  OS reinstall is described on pages 15-16 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf  Be careful not to do a factory reset by mistake, that will delete your data.
