Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help as all searches and potential fixes have failed.
I've had an Asus ac68u router attached to a virgin Media modem (in modem only mode) for many years and have had no problems accessing my plex server outside of my network all this time.
Last week the router died so replaced it with an Asus Ac86u router. I mirrored the SSIDs and passwords and everything re-connected fine.
The only issue I can't resolve is gaining access to my plex server (runs on my Windows pc) from outside. I've got my account signed into my mum's smart TV to allow her access to my library. This no longer connects.
I've tried to port forward the plex port and used the PC's ip address but can't get it to work. I've even tried to port forward to the ip address of the plex server but no success.
If anyone can offer any advice or any other changes I with really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brian
