I am having a big time problem with remote access. Has anyone ever had remote access with mobile hotspots? I have a Netgear M1 mobile hotspot plugged in my eero system and I can not properly setup Remote Access so that I can listen to my music away from home.
So… you have the M1 configured to allow remote access to the machine running the Plex Media Server in your local network and the eero is configured in bridge mode (not establishing a network inside your home network)?
I found the manual for the M1 which describes e.g. how to establish a port forward (for a change a router with a proper manual 
)
In theory you should also be able to configure the home network to pass requests through 2 independent home networks (eero network inside the network established by the M1) – however that’s going to be pretty painful and the eero isn’t necessarily making this easy. Unless you have a super strong use case requiring a specific feature that will be lost by switching to bridge mode (most users won’t even notice anything different)… go for it
Thanks for the response. Well try as I might I could not get it to work. Of course being impatient I plugged my computer (Plex server/WD My Book) directly to my Viasat modem. I manually pointed port forwarding in plex advanced settings to the modem port of 8080. Bam, remote access,BUTTT for only about 4-5 seconds and then it says to remote access. Any thoughts
- If you tell Plex to look for the outside communication from that port… did you also setup a port forward in your modem, pointing all the traffic to the modem’s public IP at port tcp/8080 to the Plex Media Server’s machine (pointing at port tcp/32400)?
- If the above is right… have you checked if the remote access is working or did you solely rely on the status indicator?
I tried from me cell phone and it can not connect to the plex server.
It seems to connect for 3-5 seconds then shows no remote access.
Looks like something about your network setup is giving Plex the hiccups.
Are you running your Plex Media Server in your home network? At least the part we can see looks more like an actual public IP address…
If you are using LTE as your WAN connection, it might simply not be possible to use a port-forwarding.
No port-forwarding: no remote access in Plex.
These kinds of ‘mobile’ internet connections are not a fully-featured internet connection IMO, because they usually put their customers behind a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
