How I got apt update and install to work (with Debian Jessie retired)
OK, so I started off creating my own local Debian repository. Not recommended -- it's a lot of work. But with a lot of Googling and experimenting, I finally got apt to work using an online source. ...
Adding more detailed instructions, incorporating what StephenB posted above and mainly for my own benefit as my memory isn't great and do it too infrequently! These are for updating Plex manually now that doing it via Netgear's GUI has been disabled in 6.10.10 but should work for other apps as long as you have the correct file.
- get the latest Plex download from here, choosing the correct distribution for your NAS
- copy it from your local machine into a folder on your NAS using your file manager GUI
- open your CLI (Command Line Interface), SSH into your NAS and navigate to the folder containing the file
- run sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb
- file can now be deleted if you wish

If you log into the NAS using root (with the NAS admin password), then you don't need the sudo.
