Plex Constantly Loses Remote Access

[Ken.F]

so the only change I made to get it to work was unchecking “Enable Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UPnP Services”. this change suddenly made my server visible outside my network. I got there by just trying different combinations.

I unchecked that UPnp setting nearly two years ago and my remote access has been rock solid ever since. I posted my findings here:

Remote Access dropping on FIOS Internet

I have the same FiOS router and I’ve been struggling with the same problem. I think I solved it. I logged into the router and went to Advanced, then Universal Plug and Play, then I unchecked “Enable Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UPnP Services”. I changed that setting several days ago and haven’t lost remote access since.
