Your router has two IP addresses - an external (public) address, and an internal (private) address. http://whatismyipaddress.com/ returns the public address (which I removed from your post, since it could be traced back to you).
Your new router uses 10.0.1.x private addresses, but your ReadyNAS is still using an 192.168.0.x private address. The old network undoubtedly used 192.168.0.x, and somewhere along the line you configured the NAS to use a fixed address (e.g., 192.168.0.4).
The old 192 address is not within the 10.0.1.x range, and that is why you cannot reach it.
The simplest solution is to do an OS reinstall from the front panel (being very careful not to do a factory reset by mistake). The procedure is described on pages 23-24 here: http://www.readynas.com/download/docume ... 6Dec11.pdf
The OS reinstall will reset the NAS to get the IP address automatically - which should show up as 10.0.1.x on the LCD panel. It will also reset the admin password back to factory default (which is netgear1 in your case). No other settings should be affected.
After you are up and running, you can configure the router to assign the NAS a consistent IP address- that will make reaching it a bit more reliable/consistent. Netgear routers call this feature "address reservation", though there are other names for it. When you get basic connectivity back, let us know what router you have and we can probably help with that.
