Hello Noretor,
Is there a setting on the router page to adjust the port speed of the specific port where the NAS is? Maybe that will help, you should be able to change it back anyway,

Hello Noretor,
Connecting your NAS straight to the computer means you are connecting it via LAN cable between them and there will be no DHCP server. When RAIDar finds the NAS, it will show the current IP address of the NAS and accessing the NAS will not really work unless you put a static/manual IP address to the computer's IP settings that is in the same IP range of the NAS. For example, if the RAIDar shows 192.168.168.168 as the IP address of the NAS, you need to set a static IP address of 192.168.168.x to the computer's IP settings where x being any number other than 168 or greater than 254. Maybe try that and see if you will be able to access the files, and if you can and you do not have backup of the data yet, I strongly suggest you back them up asap.
About the status of the NAS when it is connected to your router, start with the basic, check the physical connections of the NAS and router such as cable between them if its both ends are securely plugged in to the router and NAS, check as well the LED for port on the router where NAS is plugged in if that is lit up. If all are good, check the LED activities.
