R9000 : Plex server : Not available outside your network
I'm not sure whether this is a Plex issue or a Nighthawk issue, so I'm posting in both community forums. Does anybody have external access to the Plex server on their Netgear Nighthawk X10 R9000 ...

No signs here of a workable open port 32400/TCP on the WAN/Internet interface on the R9000, too. Must admit have rolled back to regain shell access (of course).

But do you have remote access to your Plex media content?
"Rolled back to regain shell access." SSH shell access? How do you get that? I've often wished I had command-line access to the router for quick, simple actions.

Head to https.//netgear.com/support then R9000, Downloads ... show previous versions. Fetch V1.0.5.8 when I have it right, unzip the archive, and manually upload it using the R9000 Web UI. Following the reboot, access the router from a web browser e.g. http.//routerlogin.com/debug.htm or http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm where you can temporarely enable telnet access.
