Streaming in Local Network is very slow

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi there!

I have had a Plex Media Server for about a year now, and it worked fine!
I am running it on a Synology ds916+ at my parents house, and mostly stream to my own apartment in another city. I normally stream in 1080p, without any buffering, and no problems at all.

Now I am at their home, and thought it might be even better, since I am now in the LAN of the NAS, but streaming is very slow. I can barely stream at 720p, and it buffers a lot.

How is that possible? I tested on several Devices: Chromecast (1st Gen), Android App, Windows 10 App, on plex.tv and on http://192.168.2.212:32400/

None of them are as fast, as when I am outside of that network.

What problem could it be?
It never has been such a problem, about a month ago, everything was fine.

Thanks for your Help in advance!

Thanks for the replys!

My server:
Xeon e5-2660 16gb ram os on 850 evo samsung, 3tb storage wd red + 3tb green + 2 more old disks (500 and 250 gb).

Router: fastgate from Fastweb (i’m italian). I changed my isp recently from Eolo to Fastweb. Before I had the netgear r7000. Router to server is connected with cable 1 gbs and beetween them there is a switch.

I found out the I was under Nat and already asked my ISP to give me a public ip (it should be totally free from Fastweb). Port forwarding already done (on port 32400 tcp/udp) and the server has already static internal address.

Server and router Fastgate are on the 1st floor of my house. on the second I have a switch and than the d7000 configurated ad access point. It generates great signal (my pc says it reach almost 1000 mbs from 3 meters away from it).

Films are fullhd with a bitrate beetween 8 and 16 mbs. They are watched on iPads, cellphones, laptop and Xbox 360. I have plex pass too.

None of them, despite the ridicully close distance from the router, are able to get the full quality of the stream. I always get “you connection is too slow …etc”.

This thing get worst during the dinner time, suggesting a relation beetween the general internet speed and the LAN speed.

I have to set a bandwitch of 0,8 mb to watch the telefilm/film without buffering.

Do I miss something basic?

thanks

You changed ISP and also changed routers. Look to see if the new ISP issued router has DNS Rebinding protection. This would cause relay.

I requested a public io and Will update thie tread if anythign Will change. DNS rebinding? I googled that but i cannot find something about the fastgate.
