I believe the issue is due to your apps - particularly php.

You might want to connect with WhoCares_ - perhap via his site https://rnxtras.com/

He has a php update that is compatible with 6.10.x there.

Hi Stephen,

Although I'm happy to see my add-ons used, the solution may be easier. What most likely happened here is that one or other add-on required PHP so it got installed from the official repo. Now I suspect that for some reason NTGR themselves forgot to build a new version of PHP5 that would work with Apache 2.4 as is shipping since 6.10.0 and include that version into the 6.10.x repos.

That said, there's also a chance that they actually built a new version but I don't think any packages already existing on the system would get upgraded on a firmware upgrade, essentially leading to the same problem. If NTGR did upgrade the PHP5 packages the solution to the problem would be as easy as

logging into the NAS using SSH
issuing "apt update && apt full-upgrade" and after that has finished
"systemctl restart apache2"

Thanks, when I try the apt update && apt full-upgrade as suggested and I am getting errors.. Any ideas?

  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
