Supposedly, you don’t need to forward the port with the X10 as Plex is built-in. One netgear support person mentioned on THEIR support page to disable and re-enable upnp so I tried that. It worked before I reset my router because I moved everything and when I put it back I was an idiot and plugged one ethernet cord into the router and the other end …into the router so internet wasn’t working so I reset modem. It HAS WORKED SINCE THEN THOUGH! GRRRR
Anyone with an X10 want to walk me through it. It is supposed to be the simplest setup.
I have an X10 connected to the modem. Wired into X10 is a bridge (old modem wired to it downstairs to give signal strength), the NUC we use as a computer (for speed purposes), and the 4 TB WD NAT. In the USB port the only thing plugged in is the 3 TB external drive that has the tv shows.
I do use PIA VPN, but only through the NUC computer and the router is what houses the media player so I don’t think that is it. And it isn’t on all the time (kids can’t play roblox with it on, lol).
go to canyouseeme.org and make sure its can see your system on port 32400.
I am not sure about the X10 and not needing port forwarding, haven’t heard that one…
It is not (showing up). The router’s internal IP address is 192.168.1.1 - that’s where the server is and the router won’t let me use that IP address because it is the ROUTER hence asking specifically about the x10. Like I said, it worked the other day and it flashes that is is available, before changing to unavailable.
Well theoretically plex listens on all IPs so port 32400 should be open on 192.168.1.1 and whatever your external IP is so yeah you wouldn’t need port forwarding…
Also you can select hosts by IP there using the circles but you can also type in an IP does it not let you when you just leave it as 192.168.1.1 and enter it that way?
Do you have a firewall on the x10 at all on wan side?
Can you browse to your external IP port 32400 like you would on http://192.168.1.1:32400

tried opening port through ip address 192.168.1.2, which is my NAT (where media is located, but server is not), but didn’t work either.
Try checking the manually specify port box on remote access and specify 23067. Disable remote access restart Plex and try again to enable remote access.
I don’t know if the X10 supports manually specifying a port.
Can you try turning that off in PMS? Then go to your router settings
Advanced \ Advanced Setup \ UPnP
If it is off, turn it on. If it is already on, try turning it off and back on.
Check your Remote Access tab in PMS. If it still isn’t working, disable remote access, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on, wait another 30 seconds. Is it working now?

That’s what I thought. I don’t remember if that is how I had it before.

Tried that (over and over, LOL)

I saw on netgear support that suggestion so tried it before coming here.

Turned it off overnight, for days, for minutes. It does, however, show it working for a flash to a few seconds before stating it is unavailable.
F’ing Comcast. Either when I unplugged the router or they when I called and they had to “send a signal” it TURNED BACK ON THEIR WIFI even though I TURNED IT OFF!!! I’ve never used their wifi. I had already turned it off so I didn’t even think to check. Ohhhh, I hate them. Stupid monopoly. Waiting to see if that is what the problem was.
