Unable to update Plex Media Server through Nighthawk XR700

Server Version#: 1.18.0.1913

The Netgear Nighthawk XR700 has the ability to setup the Plex Media Server on it along with an external HDD.

When logging into the router and opening the PMS, I don’t have an option to update the PMS Server version.

I’m also having an issue adding the external HDD path directory as a Library in PMS, but that might be needed for a separate topic…

I believe that Netgear is responsible for releasing Plex updates on the Nighthawk family.

(I know the XR700 is different; I think it’s similar in this regard.)

It looks like the latest firmware on the XR700 has Plex Media Server 1.18.

Thank you! That explains why my Server was able to update and the router wasn’t.
