Thanks for the concise reply!
-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.
-I still get confused about open ports, but I’ll check again and make sure it’s not running through relay.
-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I’ll check again.
Ah, Plex suggested I might be double-natted. Since fiber doesn’t need a modem (from my understanding) I have: fiber cable to box, box Ethernet to router, router ethernet to NAS. Maybe it would be better if I did box directly to NAS? Or would that put it on a separate network? I’ll look into your double-nat solution. Thank you.
This is good to look into. I’ve tried remote streaming on several different devices. Before I bought the NAS I was sure it could handle a few streams, but maybe I was wrong.
