I am able to discover my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 (RNDU 2000) Firmware 4.3.31 using RAIDar 6.4.0 but unable to access via computer.
RAIDar shows NAS drives as healthy and NAS IP 198.168.0.2
Windows 10 laptop
IPv4 192.168.1.146
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default 192.188.1.1
Physical infrastructure, I have just replaced router with a ASUS RT-AC3200 (latest firmware 3.0.0.4.382.50624) all appears to be running well. The Computer and tablets are connected to the network via wifi, the NAS is upstairs and connected via a cable and Powerline adapter to the router which is downstairs.
I assume the NAS address is incorrect and I have tried to 'manual assign IP around DHCP list' within the router but to be honest don't know what I need to do to resolve this issue.
Thanks

No. You do it with the NAS boot menu. Read pages 14-15 of the hardware manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Ultra_UltraPlus_NVX_Pro_HW_en_8July11.pdf

It shouldn't affect the drives or data. Do be careful not to accidentally do the factory default boot, as that will reformat drives and lose data.
I think the easiest way to fix this is to change the Asus to use 192.168.0.x. I prefer to avoid using the boot menu on the units that don't have an LCD panel.

Yes, the NAS needs a 192.168.1.x IP address.
You have a couple of ways to fix this:
- Reinstall the old router, which will give your PC, etc 192.168.0.x addresses. Then log into the NAS web UI, and change the network configuration to use DHCP. Then switch back to the new router. After that you can figure out how to reserve an IP address in the Asus (it simply can't be done if the NAS has a static address).
- Or change the Asus to use 192.168.0.x addresses. Change the DHCP range to start at a value bigger then 192.168.0.2 (perhaps 192.168.0.20).
- Or do an OS reinstall from the front panel (NOT a factory default). That will reset the NAS to use DHCP, and will also change the admin password to netgear1
Great thanks for the help,

If I use this method do I reformat the drives or lose the data on the disks?
