RN214: Can't install apps after a factory reset

Hi! Can't install apps after a factory reset on RN214. And there is not a single application in the Available Apps (see screenshot). I downloaded the Plex file (plexmediaserver-annapurna_1.20.3.3437...

You should be getting it from plex.tv/downloads and manually upload it to the NAS, not the available apps anyway.  Plex hasn't distributed plex via Netgear's app store for quite some time.

I've tried everything. Installing plexmediaserver-annapurna_1.20.3.3437-f1f08d65b_armel.deb including. Not installed. No applications are installed at all.

    The problem appears to be with Netgear's servers.  When I try to install smb-plus on my RN202 I see this in install_debpkg.log

    I have tried to loop in the mods, hopefully they will escalate this.

        Tried again today. Apps are not installed. See log in the attachment

        RN214

        Clear browsing data
        Factory reset
        Firmware 6.10.3.

        Volume data formated and resynced (free space 10.9 Tb - 4x3 Tb)

         

        My RN214 is like new. What is the problem?
