You obviously assigned static addresses. A better way is to reserve IP addresses in the router, which will then assign a consistent address to the device. Then if you change routers or networks, you don't lose connectivity.
You have two ways to proceed. The first one is to do an OS reinstall from the 2110 front panel. (Be careful NOT to do a factory reset). The OS re-install will set the IP address to automatic, and the password back to the factory default (which is likely "netgear1" for your NAS), assuming you have the original duo).

Your other option is to do a direct connect - connecting the cable from the NAS directly to a PC. Then assign a static IP address to the PC, staying within the range used by your old network router. Then you will be able to get to frontview (https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin) and reconfigure the IP address of the NAS to automatic.
