RN212 can't seen by time machine anymore
Dear forum experts, my RN 212 vers. 6.10.10 run flawless for a long time... Raidar vers. 6.5.0 can still see the NAS and tell me everything OK, aka two green light for the two 4TB disc bays. ...

sorry for the confusion created,
as i mentioned before, it’s years since i set up the READYNAS and didn’t care about it…up to now, when the TimeMachine couldn’t find it anymore.
I checked the wires:
The NAS is connected to a switch, where the iMac is wired to as well.
in the NAS network settings i tried with DHCP as well as without?
Now with DHCP the NAS changed IP from xxx.111 to xxx.109
and the router IP in the box below reads now xxx. 68.1
Raidar sees the NAS now also with the IP xxx.68.108
The iMac has Ip xxx.68.104
Does this to you make any sense?
Thank you for your interest in my problem!

Ok. Again, it is ok to post the full addresses. I am thinking that the DNS also changed - either to the router IP or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). Did that also change?
I am guessing that the WiFi 7 mesh is serving as your router (that you did not set it up as an access point). Is that the case?
