Plex Media Server not working on Nighthawk X10 R9000 Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.18
Hi. Today you released new update but this broke the Plex Media Server. Can you please fix it? See picture attachment. Also the telnet on debug.htm it's no longer available, why? Thanks! ...
Hi guys.
I've managed to reinstall/plex by doing the following:
0) Disable donwload/enable Plex and update checkboxes on you router page.
1) I've installed a web server (in my case Microsoft IIS)
2) I've added this file to the web server and made it accesible via HTTPS at this address (https://localhost/sw-apps/plex/r9000/verify_binary.txt), with some certificate, doesn't matter what certificate, just place one for HTTPS connection to became accesible - in my case I've used one installed already in my personal cert store named NVIDIA GameStream Server.
3) go to router telnet, then login via telnet
4) edit /etc/hosts and add this line, where 192.168.1.2 it's my newly webserver:
192.168.1.2 http.fw.updates1.netgear.com
5) Type this to make sure that old/bad arhive it's deleted:
rm -rf /var/plexmediaserver-r9k-1.19.4.2935-79e214ead-armv7.tgz
6) go to:
cd /var
7) Enable Plex Media Server
Proof attached.

Hi all!
I have posted the same issue, but my post has disappeared for some reason.
Do you have any news about the topic? Has anyone from Netgear came out with a note?
if I knew how to install plex with telnet I would have done it and yes you can enable telnet on the new firmware. (pm me)
So I have been talking with tech support for 2 straight days now 1st day about 4 hours on the phone transfered 5 times and found that none of the tech support staff availble knew how to remote into the router, today its looking like the same thing is happening.
on hold as i type this out.
They also are making me pay a hostage fee of $49 to get plex properly working for the jacked up firmware that removed it.
