The solution found was only following the tutorials for the 1 router port forwarding, except instead of making the PC static/reserved and setting it as the internal IP for the plex service (32400 port), that you make the bridged router the internal IP and make it static/reserved as well. I finally found someone with the same issue - using bridged routers was causing port 32400 to be "not open or unreachable". With the routers bridged, it's impossible to enter an IP address into the adress bar and get to that specific router. This is all a person has to do with one router, however, with 2 the process is different.Įvery guide I read about having multiple routers said I had to go into the settings of the 2nd router and I instantly knew that wouldn't work. I went to port forwarding on my router, added the plex service with the correct ext and int ports (32400 for both), and set the internal IP address to my office PC (the reserved IP). I made my office PC's IP address into a static address, and when that didn't work, I changed it back to dynamic and made it a reserved IP in the router so that it's pretty much the same as static anyway (and is supposed to work better for plex than just making it static) I've read/watched countless tutorials, including some on the plex website, but none seem to work. I'm trying to do port forwarding for plex media server, but have been unsuccessful on getting an answer on the plex forums, so I thought I'd try it out here where people actually know the process and can probably offer more help.įor those who don't know, with plex, you can turn on remote acess and you can access your media on plex from anywhere that you have an internet connection, which is my goal because I'm going out of town for over a week on Monday (so it's pretty important to me that I get this figured out before then) My office PC is wired to the office router. That router is bridged to a router in my office. The internet is wired to the main router in the master bedroom.
