Correct.  Plex decided to host the app themselves some years ago.

A couple of issues that are likely getting in the way:

1. The Debian 8 (Jessie) OS that the ReadyNAS uses has been deprecated and archived by the Debian folks.
2. If you are running 6.10.8, Netgear has permissions wrong on their repository.

It is possible to patch the apt library sources to overcome the first issue - there is information on another thread.

Netgear is looking into their repository problem - that might not get in your way, but if it does, you can downgrade to 6.10.7 before installing it.

Either way, you probably will need to install the Plex deb using ssh.

Given the install issues, and the limited memory and CPU speed of your NAS, the easiest path forward would be to host plex on an always-on PC (linux or windows), and map the media share(s) on the NAS to drive letters (PC) or mount them to local mount points (linux).  That can be done using a small form factor PC.

Another option would be to switch to DLNA, which is built into  OS 6.
