then go to the lan settings, there you should have a dhcp section.
it would show 192.168.0.
change the third octet to 1
thats 192.168.1.
save, it should reboot.
if you want to go back to the router settings, you'll have to then type in the new IP in your browser http://192.168.1.1 and you'll have access.
else you're done, and you should be able to get access to the 192.168.1.x devices. check the ip address for your laptop, it should have a 192.168.1.x address, if it does, you should be able to ping your nas at 192.168.1.111 |
Yep. This worked. I changed the IP to 192.168.1 and I'm away. I've also changed the setting in the NAS drive to automatic IP rather than fixed, so if it ever happens again it should adjust to suit automatically instead of having to manually change the network to suit the drive. I was a little wary of messing with this after the 3 days of headaches it took on the phone with support trying to get my new router going!
