Plexmediaserver.service interrupts local internet

Plex Media Server

Mesh WiFi has always caused problems for anyone using them.

The specs for your devices are:

Telekom Speed Home WIFI Solo
Mesh WiFi Repeater.
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) up to 1733 Mbit/s (2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz)
2x GB-LAN.
All-IP ready.

In my apartment, my internet connector is in my bedroom.
All my equipment is in my office.
Wireless for the main internet service doesn’t work well for running a server.

I ran flat ethernet cable (it looks like a ribbon) under the edge of the carpet, along the wall, from my bedroom - down the hallway - into my office and around to my server rack.

I don’t know how to advise you here.

I know that Plex isn’t causing your internet disruption - UNLESS - it’s using all your bandwidth for streaming.

It is VERY sensitive to disruptions.

I noticed you have Remote Access enabled.

If you disable Remote Access and then play something with PMS,
does your internet still get disrupted?

i cannot answer that yet i will need to try that but the remote access is also kinda weird because i was outside on a computer wanted to watch a movie and it doesnt work because it didnt had a secure connection?

24

Remote connections are always secure.

This is why I suggested with remote access (outside) turned off.

you’ll want to use a laptop, phone, or something which is on your same wifi with the server

25

ohh you mean like ssh?

26

No… normal web browser.

in the browser, open the server directly.

http://LAN.IP.of.Server:32400/web

27

okay but with remote access turned off i cannot watch movies with my friends together on like a watch2gether session right?

28

Temporarily — no.

I’m trying to figure out what the disruption is but if you’d rather let it wait, we can do that.

29

i mean sure ill let it wait i havent used plex scince i figured out that this was the problem
