Hah! Good luck!
You’ll still need an IP address that isn’t behind CGNAT. Hopefully that’s what the replacement will enable for you.
Besides the ISP modem, do you have a separate router?
That is what they claim. We’ll see. They mentioned a new modem months ago, but everything was working, so why mess with it. But now that they are pushing the CGNAT and I have had problems, it is worth the change. Once I have the new modem, if the problem persists, I’ll call back and see what can be done.
Assuming your line has IPv4 behind CG-NAT, but also has full IPv6 connectivity, you can directly connect through IPv6. Plex unfortunately doesn’t do this automatically, but you can manually configure it:
Needless to say, for this to work the clients need to have IPv6 as well, but IPv6 is pretty widespread these days.
It is pretty annoying that IPv6 in Plex has to be manually configured, it’s 2020. There are hundreds of millions of people now with this situation, perfect IPv6 connectivity but IPv4 behind CG-NAT, and it’s only growing faster.
