RAXE500 port forwarding problem
Greetings, I've seen community messages about accessing PLEX media server via port 32400 but they are years old and much earlier routers. My access to my PLEX media server on my LAN stopped yesterda...

Thanks for your help. This is now solved. Turned out not to be a problem with Netgear port access. I had to completely remove Plex media server app and all ts folders from the NAS. I have reinstalled the media server app and I am now rebuilding the libraries. A process that will probably take 24 hours or more. I'm guessing a file or setting corruption somewhere as a result of the electricity problems.

Thanks FURRYe38 I will try leaving everything off overnight and restart in the order you suggest.
Thanks also plemans. The RAXE is connected to an NBN gateway as fibre to the premise. It was working fine before the power outage and I'm not aware of any updates so not sure that is the issue. No error message from Plex and no local access. My local media server is on an Asustor NAS that requires access to the plex website to enable login. I cannot get to the login page as all browsers are stopping port 32400.

Not sure how it works with the Asustor NAS but when I was hosting on a nas, if the nas address changed, so did the plex address. For example, if the NAS address was 192.168.1.1 the nas would be at 192.168.1.1:32400/web . So when the nas changed, to a different address, you'd have to change what address you navigated to to access the plex. Have you logged into the router and/or nas to check to see if the connection to the plex is still at the same address. and using the same port?
