Plex port forwarding on Google wifi

#networking

I just upgraded to Google Fiber and received a Google wifi device [A] as a router/wifi radio device.

Once I connected to the fiber jack with an ethernet cable, the wifi device comes online and is manageable on my phone with the Google Home app.

I connected my NAS device to the single ethernet port on the wifi device.

After a few seconds, the Google Home app displays the NAS and gives it a DHCP address.

Inside Google Home under the Wifi menu, I tapped on the Settings icon and selected “Advanced networking > Port Management”.

From there, I was able to add a manual forward for TCP traffic on port 32400.

I saved the setting and my Plex server was immediately able to connect with Remote Access.
