The "media server" built into routers is pretty anemic. The only half-decent one was on the R9000 with built-in Plex.
I'd try the one on the tv. If it doesn't work with the built-in hard drive, I'd check into picking up something with built-in or optional transcoding. Plus then it'd stream to your other devices decently.
A cheap N150 pc would do it that you could install plex of jellyfin to. Or even a nvidia shield with plex built in would be a great upgrade. Or even an old pc sitting around

Something is wrong if it works on wifi but not ethernet.
Personally I use Plex running on a PC myself, but the DLNA server in the router is ok if you don't need transcoding.

That's not a media server - if Gjl1950 uses it, then that TV is the only device that can play the content.
