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...
Hi,
Updates are a process to fix problems, not to kill a product line. If there's not a easy/quick fix to this problem, it will be a 10k problem to replace 2 x RN516. Maybe a lawsuit or maybe common sense will prevail! Or dose anyone have another fix to issue. Thanks
Ya, the firmware did nothing to fix problems. All it does is lock you out of installing any more apps and purposely uninstall your software. WTF is that? Luckily, I was able to get my NAS back to where it was before this so called update. But they wasted my time doing it and my software not running for a few days. I don’t get why Netgear would do such a thing?
Do NOT install 6.10.10. Hopefully everyone sees this before it’s too late!!! How many other Netgear NAS’s is this being done on?
You may also want to double-check that on the Settings tab you have turned off automatic OS & HotFix updates (and set the update option to Long-Term-Support).

It should be possible to restore the working apt config from 6.10.9 (and then just use ssh to install packages.
Netgear appears to have removed https://apps.readynas.com/ (though it might just be a temporary down server issue)
FWIW, I think it was good to fully remove readycloud from the NAS firmware. But I'd rather they'd left the apps alone (as they have so far with 4.x and 5.x add-ons).
