Is it possible to use the R9000 ONLY as a Plex server?
I replaced my R9000 router with built-in Plex server with the new Orbi 963 mesh network. My new router doesn't include a Plex server. Is it possible to disable the router and wifi capabilities of m...
Thanks again. It worked like a charm.
One last stupid question. Previously when the R9000 was my router and I clicked on "Open Plex" in the Plex section of the the router's webpage, it would open the Plex Server. Now, clicking on "Open Plex" opens the webpage of my new Orbi router. Suppose I wanted to delete the current server and start fresh, how would I access the Plex server that gets created since the "Open Plex" button no longer opens Plex? I guess I could disconnect from my new network and connect the R9000 directly to my laptop if necessary, but I'm hoping there's an easier way.

I don't have an R9000 to test with but I have used multiple plex servers. Usually I just us the IP address assigned to it.

This worked. Thank you!
Glad it worked!
I'd keep an eye out for a pc based plex server. I switched from plex on a NAS (similar cpu to the r9000) and it was a night/day difference because of the added performance of a desktop cpu. Plus I could cram more hard drives in it for setting up a raid array for failures.
