So I recently moved into a new apartment and when I connected all my devices to my network I could no longer see my NAS. This isn't the first time I've transferred it to a different network. Last time it didn't have any issues I plugged it into the network and was able to see it right away. The only difference now is that my local area network has a different IP scheme whereas the first time I moved it the local network remained the same. I tried connecting it directly to my laptop via USB to see if I could access it and reset the IP hoping that would resolve the issue but I wasn't able to see anything at all. I removed the hard drives and connected them to my laptop via hard drive reader but it wouldn't let me access anything. It just kept saying that I needed to format the drive before I could go any further but I didn't want to lose my data. If anyone has any idea on what I could do to fix this or even just to figure out what is wrong I'd really appreciate it. I consider myself to be tech savvy but this is out of my league. It's a model LS-WVL/E if that helps.

Reset it using the function button. Its in the manual and doesnt erase the data.
