been trying 4 hours to fix this so figured i'd post here. new netgear ax1800 just installed. when plugged into ethernet, the readynas program RAIDar gives me the correct 192.168.0.107 address that NAS always has had but also gives me a 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address that changes. when i unplug ethernet from the laptop, the RAIDar program only gives me the 192 address. but you cannot get to it thru a browser nor does it show up in file explorer. while plugged into ethernet you can enter the 169 address and get to the NAS both thru browser and file explorer. under my network and sharing center i confirmed network discovery is on private and public.

also in the router setup under attached devices it correctly says the NAS is at the 192 address.
