R9000 Plex Media Server Setup Problem
Trying to setup Plex Media Server on my R9000 router and I am able to: Connect USB 3 drive to router Click on "Enable Plex Media Server" Open Plex is enabled and I can click on it When clicking ...
Solution was to change my network IP address to use the default 192.168.1.1 as it was what Plex is looking for during install. After install, you can change the IP address back to whatever it used to be.
Unfortunately, because I was using Plex Live TV, the router processor was not powerful enough to transcode the video. Better to use a server if using Plex Live TV but if just playing media without the transcoder, the Netgear router should be suffficient.
Instead of reducing the partition, just try a smaller drive capacity just to check if it will be synced with the router. Perhaps, try a thumb drive.
