I haven’t done it before but I would have to imagine when you changed it to AP mode it changed the devices IP address to avoid conflict with the main router.

Try going and logging into your main router in the house and look at the attached devices. See what the new IP address is.

I’m talking out of my ass right now though

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Most people here are the exact opposite of you and don’t trust hardware RAID especially cheap implementations in a USB based DAS box. Software RAID is far more flexible and makes your setup independent of the hardware RAID cad dying.

Yeah I definitely get that. All the DAS I see with hardware raid look like shit. I mostly don’t trust software raid being run on a separate machine. I have read stories of losing all the data even after shutdown properly and attaching the DAS after moving or something.

I am using a mac mini, it would be much easier if I was just using a full desktop computer, very easy build.
