Can't connect Netgear ReadyNAS Dou to my new Archer A7 AC1750
My new Archer A7 router doesn't recognized the wired connection from a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo. This NAS device connected with my prior Netgear router.
All my other devices connected easily to the A7 including an wired HP PC, and wireless HP laptop, cell phones, tablet, 2 TVs.

You can check the IP address on the NAS, is it in the same IP subnet of the Archer A7? If it is using a static IP address, ensure it is 192.168.0.x (the default IP address of the A7 is 192.168.0.1), which can be within the DHCP address pool or outside it. If it is within the address pool, ensure that IP is not assigned to another device in the network.

This is really a Netgear question, on how to change the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
Googling this I find there are a few versions. One KB article from NG is https://kb.netgear.com/29770/I-can-no-longer-access-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system-after-moving-Local-Area-Network-LAN, and I'm sure there are others.
Might get better help asking in the NG Forums? The change has to be made in the ReadyNAS, unless you are willing to move all the other addresses you have to 192.168.1.x subnet by altering the IP Address of the router.

It is on your Router's GUI Advanced, Network, LAN page.

You will probably need to make the change and then you have 2 choices:
- Change the NAS back to match your old setup using 192.168.0.1 and then return the router to that IP Address.
- Change ALL other devices to use 192.168.1.1.
