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)](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/rym2gp/plex_server_pc_disconnects_from_internet_every/) 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. Dan ---
