Sounds like you're behind a proxy. What you can try is to tell apt to use that proxy by
- creating the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00_proxy (using "vi /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00_proxy")
- add the following lines:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://<proxy>"; Acquire::https::proxy "https://<proxy>"; Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://<proxy>"; Acquire::socks::proxy "socks:<proxy>";
(replace <proxy> with the actual location of the proxy you're using.
- save the file
- try the "apt update && apt full-upgrade" again

Smiley replacements in code blocks. Really, now?

I've complained about it, and I think fixing it is on Lithium's "to do" list.
There is a fairly unobtrusive work-around which I applied to your post. That's to bold the :s that signal the emoticons

Thanks for the help, I tried this and getting all different types of errors now.
Assuming the proxy is my firewall/GW - Private LAN IP address -
I am now getting this error..
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/- WhoCares_Jun 13, 2019Mentor
"All different types of errors" is a bit vague but the one you posted can be safely ignored. It normally means that the ReadyNAS itself was running the apt tool to check for "automatic updates". To make sure that no two processes write to the package database at the same time the apt tool will "lock" the file and that's (basically, it really is a bit more complicated than that) what the error message is telling you. If that happens just run your command again a minute later or so it should work then.
As for the firewall: that depends on whether the firewall actually has a proxy capability (most do) and of course on whether it is turned on. If it is that would mean you'd have to give your PC a proxy configuration for accessing the internet as well. That's what you'd have to enter for the <proxy> placeholder in my snippet above.
