Plex Media Server Causing Internet Connection on Mac to Drop Out

Server Version#: 1.40.1.8227-c0dd5a73e

I’m running plex media server on my mac mini. I’m based in Australia and use Optus as my ISP and also use their provided router which includes Wi-Fi Security.

Whenever the server is running, my internet connection on my Mac drops out. When i stop the server, it tends to come back after a short period.

From reading other posts form the USA, I found people were having a similar issue with their ISP provided routers/wi-fi security.

PleX Server PC disconnects from internet every 10-20 minutes : r/PleX (reddit.com)

Has anyone else had this issue with Optus wi-fi security and how did you resolve it?

I have tried turning wi-fi security off, but for some reason it keeps turning back on. I have contacted Optus but am waiting for a response on how to disable it.

Any suggestions from anyone, would be GREATLY appreciated.
