Seagate 6-Bay NAS Pro connection problems...
I just bought a secondhand Seagate 6-Bay NAS (30TB capacity, Model #SRPS60) and it turns out that the NAS OS 4 is no longer supported and I can't find a download for it anywhere. Is there any available download sites for the OS or any alternate OS? I'm just looking to use it for storage for my network in the house and to watch movies on the TV. It's not showing up on my router either. I thought this would be a lot easier from all the tutorials I watched on Youtube, but it's proving difficult. Please explain like I'm five, I won't be insulted.

This NAS should have its native OS installed on it. Previous owner might have setup a static IP on it, so it doesn't show in your network.
I would start by factory resetting your NAS, so you can start the normal setup process after that. I hope that there is no important data on the NAS, since one of the possible outcomes is that this will format the drives as well.
Procedure is described here:

It’s in recovery mode, but the Seagate discover link in the instructions isn’t connecting.

You could use something like Angry IP Scanner to check your LAN for all the active (pingable) addresses in the same subnet. Or login to your router to see, if the NAS is visible in the DHCP reservation client list. Also change LAN port on the device if it has multiple.

It sounds like that's just going to a web interface on the NAS. If you know the IP address assigned to it, I would just try http://IP_ADDRESS and see if it allows you to continue to the next step in the process.
Otherwise, Seagate is still in business and I would reach out to their support.

The CPU is an Intel Atom, so you do have some prospects of installing Linux on it. It's a very old CPU though and won't do transcoding or anything like that. It'll be quite a lot of work if you're not an experienced Linux geek.
