Changed network location

Please Help!

Hi, I just recently moved, got a new router with my cable company.

My gateway was 192.168.0.1, and my last gateway was 192.168.168.1

So I changed setting in router to 192.168.168.1

My NAS was set to 192.168.168.7. I'm still getting a "no Ip address on my NAS.

I cannot ping it, and it is not showing up in the list of connected deviced on the router.

Is there something that needs to change on the router settings?

Re: Changed network location

RAIDar should be able to find the NAS, even if it's not in the right sub-net and tell you what it's IP address is.  One exception could be if two devices are trying to use the same address (which is a hazard of reserving an IP address in the NAS itself).

 

If you can't work it out, an OS re-install will set the NAS back to using DHCP to get an IP address (and also reset the password to the default).  Just take care to do an OS re-install, not a factory reset (which wipes your data).

 

Once you do get it worked out, it is better to do an address reservation in the router.  Then a router change doesn't create this issue (you just need to find the new address via RAIDar).
