Is your R9000 in the default configuration as an edge router in gateway mode? It's really helpful if we have the total picture of device configurations that apply.


I'll have to check tonight, after work.

Safer to use VPN server and client rather than UPnP or opening ports to access your plex server.


I tried setting up my ExpressVPN in the DD-WRT settings, but it slowed my download/upload speed considerably. ExpressVPN doesn't have Wirespeed, so I can't use that in the settings. So I have to use the ExpressVPN app.

Your referring to a commercial server (expressvpn), I am referring to configuring your own server either openvpn or wiregurad to reach inside your LAN from the internet.

The Operating Mode is set to Gateway.

Windows Defender Firewall was on, but turning it off had no effect (I rebooted computer too).

What other settings would help in figuring out my issue.

Thank you

Out of interest, can I assume you are able to access the Plex server locally on your network ?

Yes. I had to sign in when I clicked the link, but it let me in.

Still haven't gotten this to work. The Nvidia Shield Pro and the computer are both plugged into the router. Could there be some confusion with the IP address of the computer and the address of the Nvidia Shield Pro?

If you're trying to achieve remote access from the WAN side of router from the LAN to another device on the LAN, WAN NAT redirection, dns rebind, etc. is probably blocking that. Have you tried to access the Plex server via a device NOT connected to your local network?

You should be telling us your setup DD-WRT side like static leases are usually best. so post screenshot of your dd-wrt setup, we cant read your mind or magically glimpse your setup DD-WRT side. Read this
the top sections show what type of info we need the most to try help.

Also screenshots of your nvidia shield setup and Plex setup

TBH While Our head developer does Plex development Im not sure this is the appropriate place to ask or troubleshoot Plex. Ive said this a few time, not many here seem to be Plex users.

Assuming you don't have a fixed IP have you configured DDNS service?

If it wasn't in any of my instructions on setting this us, then probably not.
