The issue is I can't find any reference to NetaTalk in the admin portal.
As schumaku says, NetaTalk is AFP. If it is enabled on your NAS, you can probably disable it, since current MacOS software supports SMB. Generally it is best practice to disable protocols you don't use.
6.5.0 firmware was released in May 2016, and there have been a lot of security updates made since then. 6.10.10 was just released, so it might be prudent to update to 6.10.9, and check back here in few weeks on whether anyone has found issues with 6.10.10. You will need to manually download and install it, as Netgear has apparently forgotten the NAS has a "check for updates" feature, and they have neglected to put the past two releases on their update server.
