With my old router i assigned my ReadyNAS a static IP 192.168.178.37,
with my new router i see that the lan IP adress range is 192.168.1.(2-254), and i can only change the last series.

I tried to access admin from my RAIDar but can't connect to ip:(
Exactly right.
One way to fix it is to change your router's IP range to 192.168.178.(2-254). Your router will let you do that, check its manual for details.
A second way is to directly connect your PC ethernet to the NAS, and temporarily assign the PC an address of 192.168.178.2. Then you can connect to the NAS using https://192.168.178.37/admin and reset it to use automatic IP address assignment (DHCP).
A third way is to do an OS reinstall, using the procedure on page 19-20 here: http://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/HM/ReadyNAS_Ultra_UltraPlus_Pro_HW_13April11.pdf That will reset the NAS to use DHCP, and also change the admin password back to the factory default (netgear1 on OS 4.2.x systems).
Whatever way you use, you can prevent this from happening again by setting the NAS to use DHCP, and reserving the address in the router. This gives you all the benefits of a static address with none of the drawbacks.
