Set Default Gateway for ReadyNAS with the GUI
I have several ReadyNAS devices with most recent OS installed. They have run well for more than a year. But... A recent change in the network necessiated that the Default Gateway for the device...
If you have a static IP address set in the NAS (which StephenB is recommending against precisely because chages like this don't happen automatically), then the gateway is set on the same page as the static IP. If the address is fixed by virtue of reserving the IP address in the router (which is the recommended approach), then everything else is picked up from the router.
Thank you for your reply.
I need more education. All ReadyNAS devices have fixed IP addresses in their sub-domain. Allows for easier management for us and the ability to have FTP services for cameras.
The DHCP server is typically our exit router device and it is working well.
If the ReadyNAS has a fixed IP address does it still check in with the DHCP server for other settings?

Thank you Sandshark.
Too easy -- I was looking for some other area/method for the setting.
