Change IP address on ReadyNAS Pro Business Model RNDP3650-100NAS - cannot access after router change
I recently changed my Netgear 3500 router to a Netgear 8500 router. The 3500 had an IP that ended in .0.1 and the 8500 router IP ended in .1.1 - This is keeping me from accessing my NAS because it's ...
You have a few options.
The easiest one is to attempt to manually set your router to use 192.168.0.x for its LAN addressing. Normally that will be accepted, and give access to the NAS again. So try that one first.
A second way is to configure a PC to temporarily use a 192.168.0.x static address, and directly connect it's ethernet cable to the NAS. Then you could access the NAS web ui using https://192.168.0.112/admin
The third way is to do an OS reinstall via the NAS boot menu. That will reset the NAS to use DCHP, and also reset the NAS to the factory default value (netgear1 in the case of a pro-6 running 4.2.x firmware).
Both of your routers support address reservation - that is much better way to manage addresses. You set up the NAS to use dhcp, the router always hands out the same address. If the base network changed (for instance to 192.168.1.x) the address would change with it (to 192.168.1.112). If you switch to a new router, you'd connect (but on a different address) until you set up the address reservation on the new router.
Thanks folks. I appreciate the help. I tried option 2 first since it was the easiest for me (not being a techno guy) and it worked. I'm glad I got both of you to respond since more options are always better than less options. Thanks again for your help. You folks are great!
