I don’t have one but directions are here. It looks pretty standard. ( assuming you only have one WAN and one LAN) The internal port should be 32400 always and whatever you use for external needs to be entered in the manually specify field in the servers remote access settings

I run openwrt and Plex uses UPnP to open the required port ok, no need for a manual port forward.

May be best to ask in openwrt forums for help?
