With the lan set at 192.168.2.1 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 should have looked at ALL IPs in 192.168 range and should have seen 192.168.1.1,

I agree it should have connected with that subnet mask..  RAIDar uses its own multicast messages for discovery, so if multicast/broadcast isn't enabled in the router (or is blocked in PC internet security software) it won't find the NAS.

Dhcp is enabled on router.

I suggest going connecting the NAS back to the router then, and using the factory reset procedure.  The process is described on page 43-44 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/RN_OS_6_Desktop_HW_UM_12Oct2015.pdf.

If you still see the funky boxes on the LCD screen when you do the reset procedure, then the next step would be to try a USB recovery.  That process is here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29952/~/readynas-os-6%3A-usb-recovery-tool  The NAS can be picky on the USB drives, so you might need to try more than one.
