CokemonZ:

why portfowarding? shouldn't upnp cover it?

Plex website says it should.

i tend to port forward since i don't trust upnp , but also I use a non standard port (so a remap from my external port to 32400 internally).

When I ran this wizrd it only enabled upnp, not upnp 2.

I understand upnp2 is also nat-pmp which is what xbox live requires.

Or should I disable upnp2 and just use the wizard?

I've just checked my configuration and I only have UPNP enabled on one of the interfaces which my PS4 and PC sits on for gaming, have not even bothered with UPNP2. The PS4 shows a medium NAT (which is what you want on a network) and required ports are forwarding. The Xbox supports UPNP fine.

If you wanted to enable UPNP2 do it via the terminal (configure command):

You may want to clear off old configuration you may have first:

delete service upnp
delete service upnp2
commit

Then running this will enable upnp2 + nat-pmp:

set service upnp2 nat-pmp enable
set service upnp2 secure-mode enable
set service upnp2 wan eth0 <-- where eth0 is your outbound interface.
set service upnp2 listen-on eth1 <-- where eth1 is your inside interface.
commit
save

Edit: Confirmed this works.

I updated the above post. You need to type configure first before any configuration. commit commits the configuration and save saves it to the startup configuration exit to exit once you've saved or exit discard to exit and ignore any configuration changes (if you screw something up and don't want to save).

No - look at the post again sorry. I did a spelling error. It should be "set service upnp2 listen-on switch0" or whatever your switch interface sits on.

Lies :) restart Plex and ensure you've configured your correct outbound interface (eg: pppoe0, eth0.10 or whatever port has the public IP).

now i feel dumb.

Thanks for your help @michaelmurfy

The whole issue (the whole time) was eth0 instead of pppoe0

Damn!

@benokobi: I blame this tutorial for the Ubiquiti shopping spree I went on yesterday. ...

If you want alternatives, several people have mentioned the Ruckus. I'd be willing to give Eero a try, but they are not available in NZ.

Edit: at mention

Why is it with the ERL, when I sh into the router, there are some files (a lot) that I can't modify or delete, which I could on my old Gargoyle router? e.g. even the dnsmasq file downloaded from dns4me. I've tried chmod -x but it won't let me do that. Are there some permission settings or something that I'm missing?
