However, the original issue still presents itself - clicking the Plex icon still throws the error above. I just purchased my ReadyNAS a few months ago (and love it). I wondered if a Plex forum might yield results... but as this now seems to be RNapp related... I'm not sure.

Note the pictures at the end. Try going in with plex.tv, navigate to settings->network and make sure that secure connections is set to "preferred"
Hi ElijahSnow,

Now we're onto something.
In Chrome, the "url" displays as "192.168...." in the address bar, so I didn't think about the prefix, but indeed - http was displayed in the tab name.
I manually added https to the beginning... and got a security warning - but also had the option to add an exception.
Adding/Allowing exception let me through to the Plex admin panel.
With the exception added, I tried again to access from within RN212 admin panel using the Plex Icons.
Still denied (as it's pointing at http), but when I change to https it lets me through - it's remembering the exception.
