Just moved house. Ready NAS has fixed ip address for the old router. How can I change so that it can be found on the new network? (Raidar does identify it - so it is working properly - albeit with the wrong ip address.
One option (the simplest) is to reconfigure your router to use your old subnet. For instance, if your NV+ is on 192.168.0.x, and your router is using 192.168.1.x, then simply change the router to use 192.168.0.x.
The second way is to directly connect the NV+ to a PC with ethernet (no router), and then manually configure the PC with an IP address compatible with the old network. Then access the NAS web ui ( http://nas-ip-address/admin ) and reset the network connection to be automatic (DHCP).
The third way is to do an OS reinstall from the front panel. This will reset the network configuration to use DHCP, and will also reset your NAS admin password back to the default value. If you are running 4.1.x firmware, that would be netgear1. If you are running 5.3.x firmware, it would be password.
After you regain access, I suggest leaving the NAS set to use DHCP. Then reserve an IP address in your router for the NAS. Most routers have that feature - Netgear routers call it "address reservation". It can also be called MAC address reservation or ARP binding.
