How do I update Plex on 6.10.10 Firmware RN516?
Yes I searched the forums, today my Admin page said there was an update to 6.10.10 now the Apps upload is broken "App installation is no longer supported with App Upload or Available Apps." WTF! I'm...

Something to keep in mind is the RN516 is EOL. Not saying you can't keep using it but it is a 7 year old device.
A half decent newer Intel processor or an AMD/GPU combination makes a big improvement in transcoding performance.
Personally I run Plex on a Win 11 PC, with the media saved on my RN526x.
Although it is more expensive to separate storage and applications, the benefit is that it is much easier to upgrade when they are kept separate. For me that outweighs the extra cost.

My RN204 couldn't run plex decently. So it's just used for photo/kids data backup now. My Plex is hosted on a AMD 2700x with a 32tb raid array and an older nvidia 1060 for transcoding. Streams 4k without any issues. A bit overkill and the next upgrade will be for an intel for the quicksync capability. I guess its pretty rock solid with plex transcoding
