On what distro are you running your server (platform, version)? Does this behavior impact your entire home network or only the device which is hosting your Plex Media Server?

I cannot remember other reports like this (like ever).  
So I’m not sure if this is caused by Plex or is due to some weird configuration on your system…

This sounds fishy.  
A single app shouldn’t be able to impact the entire internet access of your home network (unless it’s installed on the gateway). My money is still on some weird configuration on your server (e.g. forcing the network connection to switch when Plex is active to run all traffic over a VPN…). I’ve never seen Plex act like this on its own.

DEBUG log files will be needed to investigate further.

There is no way the `.service` file can cause any problem unless it was modified.

If PMS is overloading the server, the logs will show this.

It’s advertizing itself as a player but not responding as one.

Do you have any special networking configuration?

Your power plugs have IP addresses? All those I’ve seen have been media converters.  
(Ethernet → powerline adapter ------house wires ------- powerline adapter → ethernet)

Do you have any special LAN configuration ? (subnets, vlans, etc)

Is your server’s IP address set manually (static) or with DHCP ?

If it’s DHCP, and the interval is too short, this type of disruption can occur.

How does your server connect to the modem/router?

Is that directly connected ?
