![]() For instance, you might decide that you don’t want any individual remote stream to go over 4 Mbps, even if you have a higher total internet upload speed and allow multiple streams. You can set the maximum speed at which any individual playback stream can upload. You would set this to no more than the "upload" speed returned by such a test and 100Mbps is the referenced value for uploading speed. Most people will determine this value based on testing their upload speed using a service such as. The upload speed of your server’s internet connection, specified in Mbps (Megabits per second) will severely influence the capability of your streaming. Check out our full guide to port forwarding for more information, if you need it. Again, via our DD-WRT router, here’s a general example of what that looks like: we’ve forwarded everything on external port 32400 to the internal IP address of the Plex server, also on port 32400 to keep things simple. Once you’ve set a static IP address for the server, then you simply need to tell the router, via port forwarding rule, that all traffic on that port should be directed at that internal IP address. Unless you have a pressing reason to do so, there’s no need to change the port number here. To do so navigate to Settings > Server > Remote Access (as we did in the previous section of the tutorial).Ĭheck "Manually specify public port". ![]() First, let’s turn on the manual port mode in Plex. You will need to manually specify the port number at the router level, assign a static IP address to your Plex Media Server computer, and create a port forwarding rule. Put it in simple, the port forwarding (port mapping) is to tell your router which port & IP address you need to go through with. If you prefer not to use UPnP, you can circumvent the entire issue by manually setting up a port forwarding rule. Some routers have a feature named Network Address Translation (NAT) that handles the complex task of juggling all the network requests coming into your single public-facing IP against all the many internal IP addresses those requests are destined for. In some rare situations, however, you will need additional network configuration steps if the UPnP option does not help the Plex get to the public network. The UPnP fix should possibly the remedy that cures 90% of connectivity issues. ![]() Resolve Address Problems with Bridge Mode Once it opened, the Plex to automatically forward itself to the outer Internet. Generally speaking, to find the terms like "how to enable UPnP" on the manual book or online instruction video for your router (which isn’t that hard to be found according to online resources) will allow you to turn on the UPnP option easily with their guidance. The first thing that should have checked, is that if your router supports either NAT-PMP or UPnP, Both of these service protocols allow for automatic port mapping, and if your router supports any of them, the Plex Media Server will automatically configure its port forwarding. There is one thing to note is that once you’ve signed in the Plex, and get connected to the Plex online server, which means you have a working network access and if the remote access issue is still there, we can move to the next object –to check your router setting. While remote access isn't something that you've never get control with, but you will still fall into the trap that we need to do troubleshooting with. The Plex will automatically handle all the connections as long as you are signed into the Plex account on your media server with all your clients. The internal IP address & the info of a port number of the Plex Media Server (including external or public, IP address and port number.) will be displayed.Įven though making note of both the internal and external IP locations and port numbers helps investigate the problem, you don't have to know what exactly this about for ordinary everyday using of Plex Media Server. Which means that your Plex haven’t connected to outer internet and we can do diagnostic to Plex remote access to solve this problem. If your server is right now not configured for remote access, it will say "Not available outside your network" as observed previously. Remote Access Problem and Troubleshooting Steps Let's take a look at how to enable remote access and then how to solve remote access problems. ![]() In most of the cases, you should get very few problems when setting up remote access to Plex Media Server, but there are still some cases where your home network configuration that may bring you little trouble to your connection to the Plex and cause the Plex remote access not working.
