My plex server has been running great on this router for quite a while. But the other day I was at someones house and logged in to my server using there Xbox One X Plex app, it played the movie and at one point I fast forward the movie and it crashed my plex server. I figure when I get home I'll just unplug and power off everything and turn it all back on and it would be fine. Well it has never worked since. I can still get to all my videos on the computer going through the router to the USB drive itself. but plex will not work. I did notice that the Plex server is not using the latest Plex server software even though I have automatic Update checked. I tried to uncheck the automatic update to manually install the latest Plex server but it doesn't give you the option. you can see the version I have vs the version available, I'm assuming this is the problem.
Current Plex version: 1.13.9.5456-ecd600442 Nov 19, 2018 (INSTALLED)
Plex Server on Website: 1.14.0.5468-5a0183d2c November 20, 2018
I have Router Firmware Version V1.0.4.12

I have the same firmware on my R9000

Current Plex version: 1.13.9.5456-ecd600442 Nov 19, 2018
Your Plex Media Server version is up to date.
Have you tried to uninstall by deleting plex library on USB drive and then check the box again in the plex page on the R9000 and let it install again.

Re: Nighthawk X10 R9000 Plex Server no longer working
I have the latest FW version 1.0.4.26 and on the PLEX screen in the router config i cannot get any USB drive to be recognized as being connected. I have tried FAT32, NTFS and three different models all 8GB to 64GB in size. The USBs are all recognized and work fine with ReadyShare. So I am at a loss as to where to go from here. the USB ports are working, and am thinking now that it is the FW that is causing the issue? Any advice is appreciated TIA.

Not sure why the forum never alerted about this answer to my issue by email. But that is exactly what I ended up doing and found thats the issue. I guess sometimes the plex files can get corrupted and deleting everything but the media files and then hooking it up again like a new drive works.

Re: Nighthawk X10 R9000 Plex Server no longer working
So appreciate the link, but the problem is that no USB drives work on the PLEX server. I have one plugged in and ReadyShare sees it just fine, but on the PLEX page on the router it says No USB device connected

Re: Nighthawk X10 R9000 Plex Server no longer working
Does the PLEX portion require USB 3.0 drives, whereas the ReadyShare does not?
