As to where for the DHCP range, I guess Advanced -> IP Address Distribution and for Static DHCP (assign the same IP Address each time), I guess Advanced Settings -> Network Objects#13 At Advanced -> UPnP (or Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play), you have that disabled?#5 At Firewall -> Access Control, what do you have there - is it blank just like the info at screenshots.portforward. At the have ethernet and the connection type is Static.#4 At Firewall -> General, what is it set to?Note In the video at vimeo, they have Typical Security (Medium) for both IPv4 and IPv6.#5 At Firewall -> Access Control, what do you have there - is it blank just like the info at screenshots.portforward.com or do you have entries filled in?#6 At Firewall -> Port Forwarding, what do you have there?#7 At Firewall -> Port Trigger, what do you have there?#9 At Firewall -> Remote Administration what are your settings#10 At Firewall -> Static NAT, what do you have there - if anything#11 At Firewall -> Security Log -> Settings, what do have enabled?#12 Did you setup a Static IP on/for this Server?B) OR was that the router assigns the same IP Address everytime?C) Only if a manual static IP, what is the DHCP Range?That info as well how to setup a static IP for a computer, is somewhere in Advanced.
I asked about port forwarding awhile back and finally just gave up, but I'm attempting it yet again.I've got a 2 router setup, one is in bridge mode and won't allow me edit port forwarding info on it, that router is wired to this pc, which is the same PC that plex is on.The other router is cabled to the DSL phone-jack, and another PC.I used PFConfig to test if my router was bridged correctly, it says I only have 1 router (which to my understanding,means yes it is bridged correctly).When going into the router that's connected directly to the internet source, I can add port forwarding for port 32400. However, when I try that port (or letting plex handle it automatically) it tells me that remote access is still unavailable.When checking port 32400 with apps and/or websites, they all say that the port is closed or unreachable, even with it being set as forwarded in the router itself.When unplugging the bridged router and connecting to the "main" router wirelessly, I still CANNOT use Plex's remote access.Reserved my PC's IP through the router, still no change. Plex Media Server generally works, by the magic of UPnP, right out of the box.What does Plex->Settings->Server->Remote Access say Forward the Port in the Router. Simply hop back over or to the Plex Media Server control panel to double check the server status page, and enjoy.

My ethernet connection works fine ONLY if I'm connected wirelessly to router 1 as well, without the wireless connection, my ethernet has no internet. To verify, WITH a wireless connection, my ethernet has internet, without wireless connection my ethernet has no internet.I can reverse all of this if I run into problems, but as of right now, it SAYS that the remote access is finally working! However, I haven't attempted to download anything yet, so I'm not sure if it'll be downloading at the speeds I require, or if it'll just go off my slow wireless card.If you have any idea what I'm talking about having done, could you tell me if there's any bad sides to it? Anything I may not have discovered yet that makes it not worth keeping this way? If so I'll go back to the router-bridge instead and try to figure it out from there. 4GHz, one 5 GHz Max.There appears to be two ways of doing that, but I am not sure of that.I am sure of one way of doing it, so I will tell you how to do that it that way.#1 In the router go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution#2 Make sure the DHCP Range does not occuy the whole subnet.#3 If the DHCP Range occupies the while subnet, select for Network(Home/Office) the edit button under action that looks like a pencil/pen and then make the DHCP Range smaller.For example if the router's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 and the DHCP Range is 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254, then you could make the Starting IP Address 192.168.1.100 (which would make the DHCP Range 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.254)#4 Then on your computer that you want to host on/forward to, you make it's manual Static IP outside of the DHCP Range.For example with the router at 192.168.1.1 and the DHCP Range 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.254, outside of the DHCP Range would be 192.168.1.6Full Settings outside of the DHCP Range for example would be:(At least one DNS Server required, but typically two) ex 4.4.4.3 and 4.4.4.4The second way of setting a Static IP, appears to be go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution -> Connection List.
