The current version of plex won't work on your NAS, the plex folks only build software for ReadyNAS running OS-6 firmware.

thanks, that led me to taking the step of installing OS 6 (successfully) on the NAS. After reading the new manual several times, I was able to update the system, apply all the patches and get things running. Running into the "password loop" for users, but decided to use a spare laptop as the server, and the NAS as storage. Since I'm the admin, the password loop is irrelevant.

Can you clarify the behavior you are seeing? If this is about access to the NAS from file explorer, then you might need to set up user accounts on the NAS. Also, you might need to go into the windows credential manager, and delete old credentials for the NAS.
