If rebooting doesn't solve the DHCP problem, then try doing another OS reinstall.

 

There shouldn't have been any issue with accessing the NAS after Netgear shut down ReadyCloud, as the admin account is purely local.  So it is possible that something else went wrong at about the same time.

 

Just to get clarity - you are saying you did the OS reinstall from the front panel?  Or did you possibly try to do a USB recovery?

Stephen B,

Thanks. I did OS reinstall from the front panel.
I had actually done a couple times, but will try that again.

    You might also try moving the ethernet connection to the other port.
