Plex attempting to connect to a device that does not exist

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#: 1.18.2.2058

In Server logs, I get this fairly regularly:

Nov 26, 2019 19:57:14.712 [0x7f355599a700] ERROR - Error issuing curl_easy_perform(handle): 7
Nov 26, 2019 19:57:14.712 [0x7f355599a700] WARN - HTTP error requesting GET http://192.168.1.250:49152/wps_device.xml (0, No error) (Failed to connect to 192.168.1.250 port 49152: No route to host)

One problem, there is no device on 192.168.1.250 according to my network router, so what is Plex attempting to do here?

Ignore these.

Your router told Plex about a network device and Plex is asking if it is a media device. If you have a wireless satellite/extender/powerline adapter these sometime get addresses that may or may not show up in the router.

Hmm. Other than my network extender router (which I know the IP of and can log into). I’m not sure what this could be, nor can I ping it.

I’m getting the same messages. I’ve never had any device in my network that uses class C network:

You can see that is my Plex Server that is trying to connect to this inexistent IP. I looked up for this IP in Plex files using grep, but I didn’t find anything. I believe this configuation is hardcoded in Plex binaries.

Very annoying!

Something is advertising it.

Both network segments are non-routed private LAN.

Hello, I found the solution. Disable wps on your router or extender.
