So I decided to see whether the problem was isolated to my router and plugged in the network cable directly from my modem to my PC, logged off plex web/app, reset my connection to use my ISP’s settings, rebooted modem, rebooted PC, and the server still displays as Remote. That means it’s not the router at least, I assume? I’ve no firewall on, either.
The 406 error is a clue here

It is looking like the issue identified recently and summarized here

This stops loopback from being used.
