Server Version#: 1.18.9.2571
I can’t get PMS to work when my computer is connected to the 10G LAN port on my ZTE ZHXN-F260A router using an ASUS XG-C100C 10G NIC. Videos show up on server browsing from other devices, but never play (just an infinitely spinning circle) and while the computer begins transcoding, there’s no outbound transfer. Stopping playback from the server dashboard also doesn’t stop playback attempt on the other devices.
As soon as I switched to the 1Gbps LAN1 port, streaming works fine. I don’t want to use the 1Gbps port as that negates the value of the 10Gbps service I have, but does anyone have any suggestion?
EDIT: Update on my experiences. If I plug the LAN cable into my onboard gigabit port, while remaining connected to the 10G router port, it also works. Updating the ASUS NIC driver to the latest driver for the AQC107 chip on AQtion’s website (who makes the chip used by the ASUS NIC driver) and rebooting didn’t fix the problem. At this point it seems like there’s either some issue with the NIC communicating with the router, or Plex communicating with the NIC and router.
Same here, bought it yesterday but no go. It wont play with mezzmo server also so its not a plex thing. Has to do with the card driver, tried many things unsuccesfully.

Just select AQC 107 driver and update, works like a charm
I would challenge the need for 10g LAN network. You can do plenty with 1g and if you cannot then LACP your NICs and use 2g. If you can LACP more NICs. But 10 is useless in the LAN. The justification for 10g I find hard to believe. I would be intrested in it.
Also you could still enjoy the 10g {server ->Switch} without it going {server->switch->client}. The 10g would flood the “pool” all the 1g clients draw from still getting the effective benefit of 10g.
Your client/machine will NEVER use 10g I don’t know what you could do other then like DDOS that would use that kind bandwidth on a client.
For an example I use 2g as my backbone network on my LAN. I have 3 servers 2 of them are 4g NICs LACP, and the 3rd is 1g. All my clients are 1g. and I have over 30 clients in my home including a custom camera system. I have never ever saw any buffering on anything in the LAN.
Moral of the story use gig and multi-gig no need for 10g end to end.
I got really hopeful when I saw the AQC107 driver had just been updated today! But unfortunately, installing it didn’t fix anything. Strangely enough, I’ve tried using Emby (a much rougher Plex alternative) and it works fine, so it seems there’s some issue happening with the Plex connection itself.
The point of my connection isn’t for a 10G LAN network-- I have a 10G fiber FTTH connection (well, I get about 5.5Gbps in practise…) I only have one desktop in the home, so wiring that to the LAN with 1G would undermine any benefit to the 10G connection.
Astromaddle I updated driver through device manager. Select your asus card, right click update, browse location and select windows 10 (attached file).
Also go to advanced properties and disable ipv4 checksum offload, tcp checksum offload (ipv4), flow control.
