New Fios "N" router installed, but I can't ping my Netgear ReadyNas

Very strange.  I plug back in my old Actiontech  router and my ReadyNas is assigned a dynamic IP address.  however, when I switch over to new Actiontech "N" router the device isn't displayed, and it can't be reached by ping.

when connected to the legacy Actiontech here is my connection info:

The Ipv4 address is 192.168.1.15  (receiving IP from dynamically)

subnet mask 255.255.255.0 

status : Online / 100 Mbit / Full-Duplex

MTU : 1500

It is set to auto-negotiate.

Is there anything in this setup that gives way to concerns in connecting this device to the new "N" router?

After swapping in the new N router, did you reboot the NAS so that it would request a DHCP lease from the new router?

Without doing so, the new router won't know anything about a DHCP lease that was on the old router.
